Chapter 210: Deep in the enemy’s nest

When Chu Tian pulled the large bearded man out of the water, the gills on his neck slowly disappeared.

Everyone gave a shocked gasp.

How did they have this ability?

This was definitely not something a cultivation technique could cause!

“I felt that it was very strange. The pirates could hide underwater for so long and even dig through the bottom of our ships!” Nangong Yun’s wide eyes stared at the large bearded man as she shouted, “Tell us now, are you all monsters? Tell us the truth right now!”

“Monsters? Ignorant fool!” The large bearded man gave a wild laugh and said with a proud face, “This is the innate skills that the lake god bestowed upon us, how could mortals understand it! On these waters, there is no one that dares to oppose the Giant Shark Gang. Even if the Southern Summer Country’s King came, he would still have to pay the price for messing with our Giant Shark Gang!”

After saying this, he revealed a look of disdain. Do as you wish!

These pirates were like fish in water on the Four States Lake. Even if the Southern Summer Country sent troops, it would be impossible to catch them all. Once the Giant Shark Gang retaliated, the Four States Lake would be blocked off and would cause a huge loss for the Southern Summer Country!

“Granted by the lake gods?” Everyone felt a chill run down them. Only Chu Tian spoke in a taunting voice, “From what I can see, it isn’t an innate skill, but rather a curse!”

Curse? The lake gods’ curse!

The large bearded man’s face turned red and he angrily shouted, “You dare insult our great lake gods!”

“Stop pretending! What lake gods? Nothing but fiction!” Chu Tian had seen through everything already, “All you did was open up a hidden ancient inheritance from the bottom of the lake. However, what you never expected was that you would have to pay a terrible price after opening this inheritance! Am I right?”

“Nonsense!” The large bearded man angrily shouted, “The Giant Shark Gang has been blessed by the lake gods. We currently have over a hundred thousand members and the Four States Lake covering several thousand miles are now all our territory!”

“That’s right, you have gained the sea race’s abilities and can freely move through water, so you should be able to freely move around the Four States Lake. However once you leave the lake, can you still act so freely like you do now?”

“You.....”

Chu Tian did not give the large bearded man a chance to talk, directly cutting him off, “The Giant Shark Gang has over a hundred thousand members and several True Soul Realm experts, if they were placed anywhere in the Southern Summer Country, they would be considered a first class power. However, all these years, the Giant Shark Gang has remained to plunder in the Four States Lake, not taking a step onto the land to steal territory. With the strength you possess, can you tell me why this is?”

The fifth master spat out.

“Of course you wouldn’t admit it. The members of the Giant Shark Gang cannot leave the Four States Lake, right?”

Meng Yingying was like a curious child as her face filled with curiosity, “Why can’t they live on land!”

“Because the Giant Shark Gang have opened a treasure from the sea race, obtaining their inheritance. However, can humans accept the inheritance of the sea race? So, forcefully accepting this inheritance has caused a mutation, making them suffer the curse of the ruins. As long as the leave the Four States Lake for a while, they will dry up and die!”

“By relying on this treasure to increase their strength, their bodies have been changed, like gaining gills, scales, or webs on their hands and feet. They will turn from humans into members of the sea race, finally dying from the rejection!”

The large bearded man went from disdain to anger, before finally being completely stunned.

Why? This was the Giant Shark Gang’s secret! How did this brat know about it?

This was a very strange matter that seemed completely unbelievable, but from the large bearded man’s expression, was it actually true?

Did such a strange ruin really exist?

Of course it did!

Chu Tian had seen it more than once in the ancient books before, of course he understood the power and situation of the Giant Shark Gang. Chu Tian found it very strange. With the Giant Shark Gang’s strong power, why did the Divine Wind Marquis not know about them?

Were they indifferent to fame and fortune, surpassing human greed?

Then why would they be pirates? Killing and pillaging, hurting themselves!

With their strength, wouldn’t it be better for them to do anything else!

As well as Chu Tian seeing the Divine Wind Marquis attack the Giant Shark Gang in the water, they were freely swimming around, dodging everything. Then adding in the purple blood, Chu Tian was certain that a mutation had occurred!

This era was not lacking in ruins, with ancient ruins scattered all around.

Chu Tian had already guessed everything, but he still experimented with the large bearded man just to prove his own guess. When he saw the gills appear on the large bearded man which was a characteristic common to the sea race, Chu Tian was certain of his guess.

“What kind of person are you!”

“It doesn’t matter what I am.” Chu Tian said to the large bearded man, “The most important thing is I can help you solve your curse!”

“Impossible!” The large bearded man’s body trembled and his face filled with disbelief. Then he screamed with a face of rage, “Twenty years! No one can escape! You should give up trying to trick me!”

“Large beardy, you are really lucky!” Meng Yingying came over, “Chu Tian is the founder of Miracle Commerce. If he says he can do it, then he can do it!”

Miracle Commerce’s Chu Tian?

Miracle Commerce has not began to ship their commodity, so there were many merchants that had marked onto Miracle Commerce. They bought large amounts of goods from Miracle Commerce to ship to other countries and sell them for a high price. There were a few ships that were stopped by the Giant Shark Gang, even one personally stopped by the large bearded man, so they had a bit of understanding towards Miracle Commerce.

This was clearly a brat that didn’t even have a single chest hair yet, he was actually the founder of Miracle Commerce?

However, what did it matter if he was the founder of Miracle Commerce?

The Giant Shark Gang had benefited from the inheritance, but they had also been restricted by it. The inheritance made them stronger, but it also robbed them of their freedom. With gains, there are losses, this is something that cannot be changed.

“You don’t believe me?”

Chu Tian took a small red bottle from the gourd’s storage space.

“Nangong, have him drink that.”

Nangong Yun pried open the large bearded man’s mouth and forced the red liquid down the large bearded man’s throat.

The large bearded man suddenly bent over, twisting in pain on the ground. His body released many pale blood red things.

“Hot! Hot! So hot!”

“Damn, what did you make me drink!”

The large bearded man could feel a strange warmth slowly begin to fill his cold blood. A kind of power that used to be in his blood began to slowly disappear.

This.....

How was this possible?

Chu Tian ordered, “Cut his hand and we’ll see what effect it had.”

Nangong Yun took out a dagger and slashed the large bearded man’s palm. Blood fell to the deck, but the colour of the blood was not a strange purple colour and the colour of a normal person’s blood.

The large bearded man stared at his slowly dripping blood for a long time.

The Giant Shark Gang had been established for twenty years, not a single person had escaped this curse!

This young man took out a bottle of strange medicine.

He had actually eliminated most of the power of the curse!

“You’ll still keep your underwater abilities.” Chu Tian felt a little pain. That was a bottle of diluted spiritual god blood that even he had not used yet. “The medicine has eliminated most of the limits. From now on, you are free!”

The large bearded man was completely stunned as he was fully convinced!

If this person could lift the limits of the Giant Shark Gang, freeing the over a hundred thousand members, then he would be their great benefactor!

The large bearded man fell to the deck, “Mister, please save us!”

Chu Tian calmly said, “Let your people leave!”

“Yes! Yes!”

The large bearded man took out a horn and forcefully blew into it. Several hundred people appeared around them, coming out of the water. They all had gills behind their ears.

“Fifth master!”

“Don’t worry fifth master!”

“We will save you!”

“All of you scram!” The large bearded man suddenly gave a loud anxious and angry shout. The Giant Shark Gang had been trapped for twenty years and had finally met a saviour. If they didn’t grasp this chance, would it come again? “Inform the boss that we have an honoured guest!”

The Giant Shark Gang members were stunned.

Honoured guest?

The Giant Shark Gang never allowed anyone in their waters, it was a great affront to the lake gods. However, the fifth master’s actions today was very strange.

The large bearded man angrily shouted, “Are you all deaf? Why aren’t you leaving!”

“Yes!”

“We obey your orders!”

The members of the Giant Shark Gang disappeared into the water and retreated.

The Divine Wind Marquis and Chen Bingyu were surprised, but they treated as it them scaring off the middle aged man. When they returned to the deck, they saw the large bearded man respectfully standing in front of Chu Tian, saying with a serious look, “I ask this mister to help the Giant Shark Gang to cure their problems!”

In just a few minutes, this fellow had already changed his personality?

“I can indeed help you solve the problem with the sea race’s blood inheritance.” Chu Tian paused before saying, “However, this costs me quite a large price. Tell me, why should I help you guys?”

“That’s right!” Meng Yingying said from the side, “These people kill and pillage, so they must be bad! We have no reason to help villains! Otherwise, if they return to normal, it will cause disasters for many people!”

The Divine Marquis coldly said, “The Giant Shark Gang has committed many crimes throughout the years. After the Thunder State matter, this marquis will personally cleanse the Four States Lake. How could we still allow them to act this wild?”

The large bearded man quickly said, “We had no other choice!”

“No need to be anxious marquis.” Chu Tian could confirm the Giant Shark Gang’s inheritance, so he could understand their situation. He said to the large bearded man, “How about this? I will personally go to your nest and have a chat. What do you think about that?”

“Of course you can!”

“Brother Chu!” Feng Caidie came forth, “This group of pirates are fierce, so you’ll be in danger!”

The Divine Wind Marquis also did not want Chu Tian to be in danger.

“It’ll be fine just having Chen Bingyu protecting me. You can stay outside and monitor the situation.” Chu Tian confidently said, “Relax, I can take care of this matter!”

There were many members of the Giant Shark Gang. If he didn’t have a method of dealing them, then it would not be easy to go past them. When the Divine Wind Marquis saw that Chu Tian was this confident and calm, he did not try to stop him.

With the Divine Wind Marquis as personal deterrence, what could they do?

Chu Tian brought Chen Bingyu alone and with Old Fifth Yu, they took a small boat to the Giant Shark Gang’s headquarters.
