Chapter 690: Chapter 534: Bafengte, Whom the Empire Lifted the Wanted Status From?

Just as the Young Master was on the phone with Tata Manager Singer to jointly seize the bread, the Sea Merchants Association President, Sakamaru Noto, came to report: "Young Master, good news, we’ve successfully rendezvoused with the Fishing Immortal and dragged that ship out!"

The Young Master was truly a mixture of surprise and delight: "Was the ship connected as a piece to get in?"

Sakamaru proudly released the video: "Yes, but we’ve made improvements. Outside the canyon, we connected a dozen ships into one piece, forming a stable marine platform and anchored it. Then we used a Holy Artifact Rope several kilometers long to connect dozens of small boats in a line, and during the nighttime high tide, rushed into the fjord, forming a pearl chain thousands of meters long, successfully picked up the Fishing Immortal, bound his boat, and dragged him out!"

The Young Master was truly amazed: "Very good! As long as the ships are connected into one, ensuring they don’t sink, there’s absolutely no need for any expert-level sailing technique!"

The command center was full of praise: "It’s all because of the Young Master’s wisdom! Skillful guidance!"

The Young Master was very satisfied.

Sakamaru added: "However, our actions were still seen by a few nearby Chinese players with fishing boats."

The Young Master snorted coldly: "With such a big operation, it was never possible to expect complete confidentiality, just do our best to protect the small boats and drag them back to Black Iron City."

Sakamaru was very confident: "Please rest assured, Young Master, the Chinese players don’t have a large-scale fleet, and they pose no threat at all..."

At this moment, the phone call from Tata Manager Singer came again: "Mr. Shenqian, your proposal is very interesting, we have decided to cooperate in purchasing."

The Young Master laughed: "Happy cooperation!"

Suddenly, things felt much better!

In an even better mood, the Young Master further asked: "Sakamaru-kun, what are the movements of the Chun Gang?"

Sakamaru replied: "Our external line team members are maintaining distance for full-time tracking; everything is under control."

The Young Master was surprised: "Now that it’s dark, the level and strength of the external line personnel can’t keep up with tracking in that area, can they?"

Sakamaru opened a live feed and laughed: "Darkness is when the real show begins!"

The Young Master saw dotted campfires far away in the night outside the prairie: "What is this?"

Sakamaru explained: "This is the ’Fire Insect Fragrance’ developed by our team’s expert-level Harvester, expert-level Alchemist, and Poison Immortal. If you add this synthetic herb to the campfire at night, it emits poisonous smoke and attracts a large number of toxic insects to this area. Now the hundred-men team on the other side is surrounded by these dozens of campfires. Wherever they go, they will be bitten by poisonous insects, reducing various statuses, forcing them to divide and break through. Once divided, encountering any monster at night will be quite troublesome, not to mention we’ll take them down one by one."

The Young Master was astonished: "Lighting so much poisonous smoke, doesn’t it consume a lot of materials?"

"There’s plenty of this material near Iron Flame Village. Moreover, this is the Poison Immortal’s first practical test to observe effects and make improvements continuously. By the time the Royal Family’s main force arrives, response can be more effective."

The Young Master was relieved: "Great, then let’s see how they cope with it."

...

Since the Great God Team left the city gate, they’ve been subjected to scattering tracking by Baka players. Lion procession wouldn’t chase little rabbits; facing such tracking, there’s no way to deal with it. Even if they hunt down a few, the backup team members would immediately catch up.

After leaving West City Fortress, the tracking Baka players became more professional, efficiently avoiding all sorts of wild monsters. They’ve even blocked the way ahead.

Originally, Great God planned to shake them off at nightfall, but once it was dark, distant and close locations on the map were dotted with campfires.

The whole team was a bit baffled: "What’s going on?"

Great God had no choice but to send the video to area leader Feng Xingcuo for analysis, Feng Xingcuo was also baffled, eventually reporting to the Royal Headquarters, yet both the headquarters and all professional teams were equally baffled.

But they could only observe the effects first.

Soon, the initial effects appeared. The night sky was buzzing everywhere with tiny poisonous insects flying. Players found it hard to defend against the attacks of these tiny creatures, being bitten everywhere. Though health didn’t decrease temporarily, various "bite" prompts appeared. It wouldn’t be long before various poison and weaken Debuffs showed up!

Ma Yinglong was shocked: "This is Baka’s secret biological weapon! How will we counter this when we launch a full assault?"

Brother Tao was also stunned: "Maybe both the Healing Series of Silver City and Oak City will have to come over to support!"

Feng Xingcuo asked: "Boss, how should the Great God Team respond now? Should we spread out and break through, find those Baka who are setting fire ahead, and take them down?"

Ma Yinglong pondered a bit, quite conflicted: "We can’t spread out; those setting the fires likely have protection. Spreading out might leave us vulnerable to being taken down by the opponent’s team..."

Feng Xingcuo was troubled: "But if we don’t spread out, we’ll be bitten centrally!"

Brother Tao said grumpily: "Simply split into two groups of 50, one group specializes in extinguishing fires everywhere, and the other continues forward. Fifty men shouldn’t be so easy to take down by the opponent. In the meantime, test the strength of these insects and see what the eventual poison will result in."

Ma Yinglong sighed: "Then let’s do it that way..."

Just then, another report came in: "Brother Long, the air force corps discovered a large concentration of Baka’s fleet at Wind Howling Fjord..."

Watching the live feed from the front, everyone was baffled again: "What’s this about now?"

"The fjord is windy with high waves and even a vortex. Small boats going in will mostly capsize. However, those tied together with ropes aren’t afraid of capsizing."

"It seems they dragged out one or two small boats from the fjord!"

"That person seems to be Baka’s Fishing Immortal; he was active in this area a few days ago and was chased into the fjord by a joint effort of several of us. We thought he’d likely capsize and die!"
