Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

Chapter 623 - 317: [Ancient Holy Dragon Stone]

The Fisherman’s gaze fell upon Fang Yu in front of him, his wrinkled face revealing an ancient calm, prompting one to wonder just how long the Fisherman had existed in this world. His features and eyes carried the deep traces of time, suggesting he had been here for countless years.

Even when Fang Yu bluntly exposed the Fisherman’s intentions, the Fisherman showed no emotion as a typical person might.

Neither anger nor concealment appeared.

He seemed accustomed to the complexities and desires of humanity, speaking to Fang Yu with a calm tone:

"You should be careful; Yuanqi has his eyes on you."

"Protect your ship."

The Fisherman spoke in a low voice, as dry and hoarse as a person stranded in the desert for days without water, like unpleasant pieces of metal scraping against each other.

Fang Yu was unfazed by the Fisherman’s grating voice, and instead looked curiously at him:

"Who is Yuanqi?"

"He is what you call... the embodiment of the Alchemy Era Leader."

Upon hearing the Fisherman’s words, Fang Yu was surprised.

So, the Alchemy Leader’s name was Yuanqi? This was the first time he’d heard the name.

Despite the Fisherman’s warning, Fang Yu shrugged indifferently.

He had indeed taken three pages of the Ocean Scripture from Yuanqi, so it was only natural for Yuanqi to focus on him. The Fisherman’s reminder seemed unnecessary.

"That’s not what you think."

The Fisherman glanced at Fang Yu, seemingly reading his thoughts from his expression.

"It’s not about the Ocean Scripture but something else within you."

The Fisherman’s gaze calmly met Fang Yu’s: "His stance at the Peacekeeping Council was odd. If it were just about the Ocean Scripture, he wouldn’t have reacted that way."

"There’s something about you that greatly interests him."

Fang Yu felt a slight shock at the Fisherman’s words, then furrowed his brow.

There’s something on me that Yuanqi finds intriguing?

If not the Ocean Scripture, then what could it be?

What else do I have that might interest someone of that caliber, other than the Ocean Scripture? Could there be something else?

"Hmm?"

At that moment, Fang Yu’s expression shifted, as he recalled he might have used a special ability during his encounters with Yuanqi.

The talent of [Negation]!

He had negated the fact that Yuanqi had captured him, rendering Yuanqi’s actions futile.

Fang Yu had tested it among his companions, discovering that once he activated his talent, those around him seemed to forget what he had said or negated, only knowing he had used a trump card to escape Yuanqi’s grasp.

Escaping from someone of that caliber is incredibly difficult, yet not impossible with certain treasures.

At the time, everyone thought he possessed some kind of treasure, barely escaping with his life.

Only Yuanqi...

Perhaps due to his high level and strong power, Yuanqi wasn’t fully deceived by the talent, sensing something unusual.

Yuanqi is after my talent?

Fang Yu’s expression tightened as he furrowed his brow slightly.

"Be extra careful these days; he may act against you."

The Fisherman’s voice slowly echoed, causing Fang Yu to chuckle lightly.

"Why are you laughing?"

The Fisherman looked at Fang Yu.

Fang Yu chuckled, looked at the Fisherman, and said bluntly: "Since Yuanqi has targeted me, shouldn’t you find a way to help me escape from danger?"

"If you fancy my ship, we can have a showdown in the future; that’s fine, let’s rely on our own abilities."

Fang Yu spoke loudly: "But if you truly treat my ship as your possession, then when others of similar caliber focus on me, wouldn’t they essentially be targeting your personal property?"

"It’s you who should be troubled about not being found by Yuanqi; caution is yours, not mine."

"At worst, let him capture me, but you’d lose a promising ship, right?"

"If I’m not mistaken, you’re waiting for me to upgrade the ship before targeting me, correct? Right now, my ship can’t withstand your power."

Fang Yu chuckled, spreading his hands like someone without fear.

Seeing Fang Yu’s attitude, the Fisherman frowned slightly.

He was silent for a moment, then nodded: "You do have a point; if Yuanqi acts against you, the one to stop him should indeed be me."

"However... I can block Yuanqi, but his forces and subordinates are beyond my intervention, lest I breach the rules of the Peacekeeping Council."

"If his subordinates come knocking, you have to handle that yourself."

The Fisherman spoke softly.

"Alright then!"

At that moment, Fang Yu felt relieved, chuckled, and extended his hand towards the Fisherman with a demanding gesture.

"Since that’s the case, hand them over!"

The Fisherman was startled: "Hand over what?"

"Of course, the perks, the treasure!"

Fang Yu said matter-of-factly: "Since you’re interested in my ship, we can confront each other in the future."

"But during this process, surely you want my ship to improve as much as possible, right?"

"If there are treasures that can enhance the ship, bring them over so I can upgrade it."

"Oh, by the way, I’m preparing for the ship’s Extraordinary Transformation, which is vital for its future capability, relying entirely on the level of this transformation."
