Chapter 161 Okaz Island
The murlocs found two Defias Brotherhood members hiding in the secret room of the Heartless Pirate Ship. Facing Yang Yi's questions, the little girl and the Tauren refused to answer.
"We can't keep people of unknown origin. If you don't answer, we can only feed you to the sea fish." Yang Yi said.
This is not just a verbal threat. If they don't answer again, Yang Yi really doesn't plan to keep them.
"You murlocs are not South China Sea pirates," the Tauren finally spoke, he said, "We are just people captured by South China Sea pirates. If you let us go, we are willing to give you gold coins to thank you."
"It's not impossible to let you go, how many gold coins are you willing to give as a thank you fee?" Yang Yi said.
"30," the Tauren said while looking at Yang Yi's expression. He found that Yang Yi was completely unmoved, so he immediately changed his words, "50 gold coins."
For ordinary people, 50 gold coins are already a large fortune, and the Tauren didn't dare to say that the ransom was too high.
"50 gold coins is a very tempting thank-you fee. Where should I send you?" Yang Yi asked.
"You can send us to Okaz Island. If you can send us there, 50 gold coins will definitely be given." The tauren said anxiously. He heard that Yang Yi, a fishman, was interested in 50 gold coins, so he quickly reported the location.
Yang Yi did not make any comments after hearing what the tauren said. This tauren named Mr. Heavy Fist looked very honest, and it seemed that he was not lying.
There is indeed a large island called Okaz Island in the southeast of Warrior Island. The island is covered with dense rainforests and ferocious beasts. I don't know what the people of the Defias Brotherhood want to do by running all the way to that island.
"As long as you fishmen are willing, we can give more gold coins." The tauren saw that Yang Yi didn't speak and thought that Yang Yi thought 50 gold coins were too little, so he quickly added.
"As you can see, we just seized these ships from the pirates. We can't even drive the ships properly now, so it's probably impossible to go directly to Okaz Island." Yang Yi said.
The Minotaur knew it was hopeless when he heard it, and he fell silent.
"Take them two away and take good care of them. These are 50 golden coins." Yang Yi asked the fishman to take the two of them to the road.
"Okaz Island, it's necessary to go and take a look."
Yang Yi felt that all this was very suspicious, as if something was going to happen nearby.
Warrior Island is located at the mouth of the Ratchet Bay. The location of Okaz Island not far away is also a sea area that is difficult to bypass on the route of the Ratchet Sea-Guarding Ship to sail south in the future. Yang Yi plans to check it out.
Mojimus asked the murlocs to bring the minotaur and the little girl into the cabin. He asked Yang Yi, "Boss, the battle on the island seems to have stopped, and the blackfin murlocs seem to have retreated. What should we do with the pirates who are still on the island?"
"First, drive these two ships back to our murloc town, and leave a large group of fighting murlocs to guard the island. There is no need to go ashore to fight the pirates. Just wait for the pirates to leave the island and drag them into the water." Yang Yi said.
Yang Yi estimated that these South China Sea pirates did not have much food stored on Warrior Island. There was no need to attack them. They only needed to be trapped for a while and they would be captured naturally.
"Mojimus is willing to stay and will never let a pirate escape from the island." Mojimus took the initiative to say.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you." It was rare for a murloc to take the initiative to take on a task, so Yang Yi immediately agreed.
The murlocs in Ratchet Town drove the two captured pirate ships slowly towards the Ratchet Bay. Yang Yi did not return to Ratchet Town with the fleet. He rode a turtle mount alone and swam towards the direction of Okaz Island.
The distance between Okaz Island and Warrior Island is not much longer than the distance between Ratchet Town and Warrior Island. Yang Yi can reach it from Warrior Island in one day by riding a turtle mount.
Okaz Island is the largest island in the nearby sea area. It is more than ten times larger than Warrior Island in area, and the island is covered with lush forests.
After Yang Yi arrived at Okaz Island, he first rode a turtle around the island. Because of the dense forest, he could not see if there were any people on the island.
However, Yang Yi found several large sailing ships docked on the hidden coast.
"There are people wearing red Defias masks on the deck. These ships seem to belong to the Defias Brotherhood."
Yang Yi used Eagle Eye to find that there were people from the Defias Brotherhood on the deck of the sailing ship. He analyzed it and decided to go to the island first to find out.
Yang Yi left the turtle mount in the sea water. He used the stealth skill to sneak carefully towards Okaz Island.
The ship was docked on the nearby coastline. Yang Yi estimated that the people on the ship would not be too far away from the ship, so he searched the nearby area.
On a high ground, Yang Yi was lurking carefully. In the distance, black smoke was rising from the dense forest. He used the Eagle Eye Technique to look over.
He saw a large open space cut out by humans in the dense forest. A group of people were standing quietly around a large fire. In front of the fire, a male human was tied to the ground with his face up.
These people were wrapped tightly in black robes, and their heads were covered with hoods. It was obvious that they were doing something shady.
The man in the black robe stretched out his hand, and his five fingers were clawed and aimed at the head of the male human tied to the ground.
The man in the black robe kept chanting a spell in a strange tone. The man on the ground kept twitching and struggling. He was obviously in great pain.
"Sure enough, there is something strange. These people seem to be warlocks. Is this some kind of mysterious ritual performed by warlocks?" Yang Yi was puzzled.
After the Eagle Eye skill is strengthened, the distance it can see is very far. Yang Yi's Lord's Eye skill cannot be used, and he cannot see the attribute information of these people.
Yang Yi kept observing, and the black-robed warlock suddenly stopped chanting, and a dazzling light emitted from the warlock's hand.
The light covered the man on the ground.
After that, something unbelievable happened to Yang Yi.
The black light dissipated, and two men appeared on the ground. They looked exactly the same.
"I'll choke you! It's changed into a living person! One person has become two! Am I dazzled!?" Yang Yi was so surprised that the fishman couldn't close his mouth.
"Is there really such a skill in this world? If we had this skill, we wouldn't have to worry about not having enough murlocs. It wouldn't be too satisfying to use this trick to create an army of murlocs."
After the black-robed warlock finished casting his spell, one of them walked towards the two men on the ground. The person slowly lowered the hood covering his head, revealing long, straight black hair. He looked like a female human.
The man took out a short sword and said something to the two men.
"No, you must sneak over and take a closer look?" Yang Yi immediately decided to get closer and take a closer look. He was unwilling to just go back in confusion.
Just when Yang Gang was about to sneak past, suddenly the birds and beasts in the dense forest around the clearing suddenly flew away, and it seemed that something terrible was surrounding the clearing from all directions.
Yang Yi quickly used his eagle eye to look over again, and saw a large group of humanoid creatures with snake tails rushing out of the dense forest. They immediately launched an attack on the men in black robes.
"I'm going to pinch you again, it's a Naga! Where did so many Nagas come out of nowhere!?"
Yang Yi quickly recognized that the Nagas rushing out from the dense forest were the formidable enemies of the fishmen.
Faced with the sudden attack by Naga, the man in black robe was not to be outdone.
Once again, Yang Yi was shocked and opened his mouth wide.
Some of the men in black robes suddenly glowed with fire, and then they transformed into black humanoid creatures with lizard tails and sharp claws.
"I'll strangle him again. What's going on? Is he a dragon?" Yang Yi was surprised.
These are indeed dragon people. Dragons that walk on two legs are young dragons. The young dragons in the world of Azeroth need to grow for at least 100 years before they can grow into the form of young dragons that walk upright on two legs.
Yang Yi watched the melee between the dragons and the naga, feeling confused as to whether he should move forward or leave quickly.
Yang Yi was still hesitant, but the battle ahead became more and more intense.
I saw the black-haired woman suddenly transformed into a giant black dragon with two wings on its back.
The black dragon flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
The black dragon took a deep breath...
The next moment, the black dragon's big mouth opened, and the dragon's breath flames spurted out.
Suddenly, Okaz Island was dyed red by the light of the sky.
"Oh my god, this giant dragon is taller than the mountain. It can spit out a fire and a row of trees will be gone. If you are accidentally sprayed by this dragon's breath, you will die in an unknown way."
When Yang Yi saw the giant dragon appearing, he looked nervously into the sky and found that there was no flying dragon above his head. He felt a little more at ease.
"Fortunately, there are no adult dragons watching from the sky. I don't know how many dragons are hidden in the surrounding dense forests. The dragons in the world of Azeroth have various powerful abilities. It's better not to look at it and evacuate quickly. Bar."
Yang Yi quickly chose to retreat. This black dragon was not easy to mess with.
Yang Yi carefully sneaked back in the direction he came from. He was afraid that the black dragon in the sky would spit out a mouthful of fire in his direction.
The journey was finally uneventful, and Yang Yi arrived at the coast where the ship was docked.
Just as Yang Yi wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard violent crashes and rapid shouts coming from the sea not far away.
Turning to look in the direction of the sound, I saw a dozen hydra snakes attacking several large sailing ships of the Defias Brotherhood with their snake heads.
The sailors of the Defias Brotherhood urgently raised the sail and steered the sailboat to avoid the attack of the hydra. Some sailboats could not withstand the fierce attack of the hydra, slowly sank, and were then dismantled to pieces.
The people on the sunken ship desperately tried to jump off the ship and run to the island, but most of them died under the attack of the hydra.
"It's such a shame that such a good sailing ship has been scrapped like this!"
Yang Yi quickly scanned the area with the Lord's Eye and found that all of them were level 5 or 6 Stashaz hydras like the hydras that were led to Ratchet Town by the Altar of Oath.
"Why are there so many hydras suddenly here? Is their lair here? This Okaz Island is too dangerous and we can't stay here any longer."
Yang Yi hurriedly found the turtle mount. Fortunately, the big turtle was not attacked. The timid turtle hid in the nearby rocks.
After finding the turtle mount, Yang Yi quickly let the turtle dive away from the dangerous place of Okaz Island.
With no danger, Yang Yi escaped from Okaz Island. He didn't stop and let the turtle mount swim directly to Warrior Island.
"What happened on Okaz Island? Why are the black dragons dispatched?" Yang Yi thought more and more strangely after leaving Okaz Island. The Defias Brotherhood's ship docked on Okaz Island. No one was anywhere, Naga and Black Dragon also came out to join in the fun, and even the pirates of the South China Sea seemed to be related to this incident.
"I heard that the black dragon cubs in the southern part of Dustwallow Marsh have been active recently, attracting many adventurers and bounty hunters to hunt them. Could it be that these black dragons are going to make a big move? Dustwallow Marsh is not far from the Ratchet Bay. This is not good news." Yang Yi couldn't help but worry.
The southern area of Dustwallow Marsh is called Dragon Swamp, where the black dragon clan lives. This may be the only black dragon habitat in Azeroth that is close to the settlements of indigenous peoples such as humans and orcs.
Sitting on the back of a large turtle, Yang Yi thought about the various strange situations on Okaz Island all the way, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.
In the early morning of the next day, Yang Yi rode a turtle mount close to Warrior Island. The murlocs of Ratchet Town surrounded him after seeing Yang Yi.
"Mojimus, are there any movements from the pirates on the island?" Yang Yi asked.
"Last night, a group of pirates wanted to escape from Warrior Island by rowing a famous boat at night, but they all fled back to the island after seeing us murlocs." Mojimus reported.
"Well, well done." Yang Yi said, "If there are still pirates trying to escape, try to capture as many alive as possible."
Yang Yi suspected that these South China Sea pirates were related to the events on Okaz Island, so he wanted to capture more pirate captives to question.
"The two people from the Defias Brotherhood who were imprisoned in the secret room of the Heartless by the South China Sea pirates are also very suspicious. The Heartless is the flagship of this pirate group. These two people who were imprisoned in the secret room of the Heartless must be important figures." Yang Yi thought of the little girl and the minotaur. The two were very suspicious. Ordinary captives would not be imprisoned in the secret room of the Heartless.
Yang Yi continued to give the task of besieging Warrior Island to Mojimus. He rode his turtle mount to swim to Ratchet Town.
Ratchet Town is now under the charge of Slark. Benbolba and four small fishmen also follow Slark to take care of the affairs of the town.
Seeing Yang Yi coming back, Slark and Benbolba all came to greet him.
"Slark, how is the situation in the town these days?" Yang Yi asked.
"Lord, everything is going well in the town." Slark replied.
"Boss, the three-headed hydras have been dragged to the Guardian Pond. They were too quiet at first, but after Benbol Ba taught them a lesson, they are now staying in the pond to recover from their injuries." Benbol Ba said.
Torturing prisoners is Benbol Ba's specialty, and dealing with the three-headed hydras is no problem.
"Well, you guys did a good job. Slark, where are the two human girls and the minotaur who were brought back with the pirate ship now?"
"Lord, they are locked up in prison."
Yang Yi went to the prison after learning about the situation. The prison was built by Yang Yi using the general construction drawings he bought, and no prisoners have been held since it was built.
The prison sent a team of patrol fishmen to guard it, and the minotaur and the little girl were detained in separate cells.
In the cell, the minotaur was locked with several thick iron chains. He stood up immediately when he saw Yang Yi coming in.
The tauren roared angrily through the iron cage: "Why did you lock us up, you fishmen? What did you do to Vanessa? Tell me!"
Yang Yi looked at the roaring tauren. The tauren named Mr. Heavy Punch was a level 4 tauren warrior. His status in the Defias Brotherhood should not be low.
Yang Yi said: "The little human girl is fine, but you are unwilling to tell us your origins. We fishmen dare not let you go easily."
The tauren panted and roared: "Let us go, we will not tell you our origins."
Yang Yi said slowly: "You are from the Defias Brotherhood."
The tauren was surprised, and he said anxiously: "You, how can you, a fishman, know."
The tauren knew he had said the wrong thing as soon as he spoke, and he quickly closed his mouth.
Yang Yi couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Tauren are really honest. This tauren is a standard upright and honest type.
Yang Yi said, "The reason why your Defias Brotherhood came to Okaz Island is related to a male human, right?"
After hearing this, the tauren stared at the boss with his eyes, and he kept his mouth shut.
Yang Yi said again, "That male human is not ordinary, right?"
The tauren still did not answer, and he began to shake his head.
Yang Yi looked at the tauren's performance and confirmed his guess. He continued, "I also know something about your Defias Brotherhood. If you admit it honestly, I can consider releasing you and that little human girl."
The tauren did not believe it, and he suddenly shouted, "What did you do to Vanessa? I want to see her."
"Go, bring that little human girl here."
Under Yang Yi's order, the fishman in charge of the prison quickly brought the imprisoned human girl over.
Yang Yi said to the tauren, "Now lock you two up together. When you are willing to tell the story, let the fishman come to inform me.".
