Not even two minutes after hanging up the phone, Ding Ning received a call from a local Somali number. Not surprisingly, it was the contact person Shen Moru mentioned.

According to the liaison officer, he wanted to meet Ding Ning in Mogadishu for a detailed discussion, but he refused directly. He did not ask for any weapons and equipment, nor any ship supplies. He only asked for the possible location of the pirate lair.

After finding the direction of the island, he hung up the phone directly.

Based on the general directions of a few possible pirate lairs, searching for possible hiding places of pirates in the vast sea is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, but for aquatic animals, this is not a difficult task at all.

Of course, fortunately, before Ding Ning came to Somalia, in order to prepare for emergencies, he specially sent a group of water tribes to come over in advance and wait for his call at any time, which happened to be of great use now.

The water tribe's combat capabilities on land may not be as good as warriors of the same level, but in the ocean, they are well-deserved overlords. Even some powerful creatures in the deep sea do not pose much of a threat to them.

According to Ding Ning's understanding, the most essential difference between aquatic animals and powerful creatures in the deep sea, apart from their IQ, is that they can change their tolerance to water pressure at will.

In other words, aquatic animals can switch between the deep sea layer and the shallow sea layer at will, but once the powerful creatures that have long adapted to the pressure of the deep sea surface to the shallow sea, their huge bodies will be unable to withstand the strong gravity of the earth and turn into paper tigers.

They are generally extremely weak, and in severe cases, their body functions may collapse and they may die.

This is why there are often reports of deep-sea creatures that have never seen the light of day stranded on the beach or even died.

Of course, the reason why aquatic animals are called aquatic animals is not only because they have an IQ that is not weaker than humans, but also because they have many abilities that marine creatures do not have.

To put it simply, the aquatic tribe is no longer just a marine creature, but a group of advanced creatures that have evolved, equivalent to the demon tribe that has transformed, while the marine creatures are still in the extremely ignorant stage of monster beasts that have not yet opened their spiritual intelligence.

Therefore, no matter how powerful the marine creatures are, they cannot control creatures other than their own group. However, advanced forms of life such as the aquatic tribe already have the ability to drive most marine creatures for their own use.

For example, at this moment, there are not many aquariums ordered to come to the Gulf of Aden, less than five hundred. It is not easy for such a small number to find the pirates' hiding place in the boundless sea in a short period of time.

.

But with an almost endless number of marine creatures as their "little brothers", finding the pirates' lair is a piece of cake for them.

In less than half an hour, Ding Ning, who was already watching the Black Pearl Dancer perform a striptease in a bar called the Helmsman near Hobio Port, heard the joyful mental fluctuations of the giant shark warrior in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and found it.

Ding Ning took out a black wind coin and placed it under the beer glass. He smiled at the dancers who were frequently ogling him, stood up slowly and walked away.

Well, it's not that he is racist, but he grew up in an environment where "one white covers all ugliness", and he really has no interest in dark-skinned girls, nor does he have any desire to discuss with them the physiological structure of men and women.

Different ideas.

But his lack of interest does not mean that others are not interested in him, and although the person who is interested is also dark-skinned, his gender is male, and he is a man with abnormal preferences for the same sex.

His name is Chief. No one knows what his original name was or whether he really served as a chief. However, Africans are very casual in giving names. Even if they are lazy, weird names like Hello, Goodbye, Friend are everywhere.

It can be seen that there seems to be nothing unusual in naming a chief.

Somalia big

There are hundreds of small pirate groups that work as pirates, but their strength varies. The most powerful among them are the four major pirate groups: Blackbeard, One Piece, Pink Skull and Ghost Ship.

But the chief is not an ordinary chief. He is a local gangster who makes a living in Hobio Port. Someone has a gun in his hand. He is considered to be the largest gang in the entire Hobio Port.

Of course, for Port Hobio, which has long been a gathering place for pirates, it is impossible for the chief to be able to thrive here without having anything to do with pirates.

In fact, it is true that the chief's other identity is actually a pirate, and he is also the third person in the Blackbeard pirate group. He is responsible for guarding the plundered merchant ships and hostages for the pirate group, and is also responsible for selling stolen goods, collecting intelligence, and

Arms smuggling, drug trafficking and other land-based businesses.

Due to the perennial wars in Somalia, almost all the people in Somalia are soldiers. A kid as young as seven or eight years old can become a qualified soldier if he picks up a weapon.

As the international community is dissatisfied with the rampant plundering behavior of Somali pirate groups and carries out frequent attacks, a joint fleet has been formed to attack pirates in the Somali waters for a long time, making the lives of the pirates huddled on the islands deep in the sea and suffering more and more difficult.

It's getting sadder.

As a result, pirates have also kept pace with the times. They are no longer just robbing passing ships. They have also begun to board land to engage in smuggling arms, selling drugs, selling intelligence, opening casinos, bars, providing pornographic services, etc. to make money.

industry.

It was under such circumstances that the Chief landed at Hobio Port and became one of the most powerful gangster leaders in the area. Just to conceal his identity as a member of the Blackbeard Pirates, the gang he led was named Sea Vipers.

The venom of sea venomous snakes has amazing lethality. They can attack other creatures accurately and powerfully. Only one or two milliliters of venom can kill people. However, sea venomous snakes are not aggressive and usually do not take the initiative to attack humans.

.

The Sea Viper led by the chief also adheres to the temperament of the Sea Viper. Generally, they will not take the initiative to cause trouble, but they will never be afraid of trouble once something goes wrong.

In addition, the leader of the Blackbeard Pirates, Edward Blackbeard, is a legendary figure with an unruly personality, but he always seeks wealth rather than life. He never bullies others and often helps those who are struggling with hunger.

The poor man is an alternative among the many notorious pirate groups. He has a rather rogue demeanor and his reputation is quite good compared to other pirate groups.

The reason why Ding Ning flew 400 kilometers to the Hobio port and lured the chief with "beauty" was because he obtained the information from his contact and concluded that the Blackbeard Pirates did not participate in the robbery of the Dawn.

, so I wanted to meet Edward through the chief to see if I could get some information out of this legendary pirate.

Although the Aqua Tribe has found the island where the plundered Dawn was anchored, according to reports from the giant shark warriors, there are about thousands of pirates gathered on that island. Not only are they heavily guarded, but there are also several pirates that make them feel palpitations.

the breath.

This made Ding Ning, who had planned to directly kill the island and rescue the hostages, immediately change his mind and decided to meet with Edward Blackbeard to see if he could get some useful information before making plans.

According to the information he had, except for the Blackbeard Pirates, the four major pirate groups did not participate in the robbery of the Dawn, and the other three major pirate groups all participated.

You must know that fellow pirates are enemies. The four major pirate groups roam the waters of Somalia, and there is naturally inevitable friction between them. There has never been any precedent of joining forces to commit crimes.

Coupled with the joint escort strikes by fleets from various countries, pirate groups have kept a low profile in the past two years and rarely dare to openly rob large merchant ships.

This time the three major pirate groups behaved uncharacteristically

They joined forces and dispatched a decommissioned destroyer with great fanfare to plunder the cargo ship of Anping State. If they say there is no trick in it, they will kill Ding Ning.

After contacting the situation detected by the giant shark warrior, Ding Ning decided to be cautious and decided to get the information he wanted from Blackbeard before making a decision.

The chief was very sad. He thought it was just an ordinary hunting trip, but unexpectedly he hit an iron plate, causing a bloody head.

In a rather luxurious small villa, the chief lay limply on the ground, looking at the soft-skinned and harmless Eastern boy in front of him, surrounded by heart-stopping flames like a god of fire.

His dirty thoughts had already reached the sky, and he widened his eyes in shock and shouted: "You...you are actually a wizard?"

"Wizard? Sort of."

Ding Ning laughed dumbly, but was too lazy to explain to him the difference between a warlock and a wizard.

Of course, even if he wanted to explain it, he couldn't explain it clearly. In fact, he himself didn't know what the difference between a warlock and a wizard was. In his opinion, it was only the cultural differences between the East and the West that caused the difference in names. Warlock

It should belong to the same profession as wizard.

It wasn't until he entered the realm of the ultimate demigod that he understood the meaning of the saying "There are many roads, but different paths lead to the same destination."

Whether it is a national warrior who enters the Tao with martial arts, an ancient warrior who enters the Tao with Qi, or a spiritual master who enters the Tao with spirit, after reaching the divine realm, they all need to understand the laws of heaven and earth to break through the threshold of the divine realm, and thus evolve from a low-level life to a higher level.

A high level of life.

Presumably, the wizards and warriors who practice physical arts mentioned by these foreigners should not be exceptions.

But if there is a difference, it is that he is not only a practitioner of martial arts, Qi, and Shen, but he is also a body refiner.

This reminded him subconsciously of what the demon elite in Genghis Khan's mausoleum had said, that human beings have lost their complete cultivation inheritance, and that the right way to practice is to have multiple practitioners in the cultivation system.

He declined to comment on this. After all, manpower is sometimes exhausted, and human energy and lifespan are also limited. It is impossible for everyone to make rapid progress in various cultivation methods in a short period of time like him.

These people are definitely products of chance, and they are also unconventional and extremely special cases.

With his understanding of the essence of cultivation, he will no longer blindly follow anyone's views on the way of cultivation.

In his opinion, the benefits of having multiple practitioners from multiple paths is that, at least, in battles of the same level, fellow practitioners from multiple paths definitely have a huge advantage, and their fighting methods and life-saving methods are far superior to those of the same level.

monk.

But in the same way, there are also advantages to having a single skill. For example, my father immersed all his energy in the way of swordsmanship and created his own way.

His combat power absolutely crushes the strong men of the same level, and in many cases he can even turn decay into magic. His instantaneous burst of combat power can leapfrog and kill strong men who are several ranks higher than him, creating incredible miracles.

"Dear wizard, I am so blind that I actually tried to... ahem, you have a lot of them, please forgive me for my offense."

The chief got up in embarrassment, knelt on the ground with awe in his face, and respectfully begged for mercy in half-baked Anping Mandarin.

Although this guy had the audacity to try to blow his anus before, which made Ding Ning feel very unhappy, but after all, he is just an insignificant person. With his current temperament, he would not really care about him. He said expressionlessly: "
