"Let's go and accept a mission."
Du Feng didn't care about the doubts of others. Even if the pagoda uncle was the only one who believed in it, he could still accept the mission. Moreover, there were seven of them. Even if he could earn 1,000 level-2 immortal stones from each of them, that would be 7,000.
"Alright, everyone, keep up."
The pagoda uncle called out, and the rest of them followed.
"Idiot, I bet they won't live past tomorrow afternoon."
"Bullsh * t, I bet they won't even live to see the sun tomorrow morning."
"That's right, as long as these people dare to go out to do the mission today, they will immediately die outside."
The onlookers didn't think highly of Du Feng, especially his ability to lead the team. But at the same time, they were jealous that he could lead the team because he could earn money. Regardless of what they thought, Du Feng still led the team to the mission point. Soon, he chose a mission that was suitable for eight people and left quietly.
This mission was very special. It wasn't to kill water monsters or land on the island, but to collect some seaweed. These seaweeds grew at the bottom of the Sky River. The riverbed here was different from other places. Under normal circumstances, the riverbed should be clean sand, but here, the riverbed was filled with silt.
Ships didn't want to pass through this area because they were afraid that the seaweed would entangle their propellers. Because once the seaweed was stirred up, the ship would lose its power and everyone would be trapped. What was more terrifying was that the seaweed would slowly pull the ship to the bottom. No matter how big the ship was, it would be pulled to the bottom of the river sooner or later and become a victim.
Du Feng's team's mission this time was to clear a portion of the seaweed. The more seaweed they harvested, the more points they would get.
This mission was quite suitable for leading the team to earn points because everyone could harvest their own seaweed. Du Feng only needed to be responsible for clearing the water monsters that occasionally barged in. According to the information, these seaweeds moved very slowly and wouldn't pose a threat to a single small target.
"Leader, why do we have to accept this grass-cutting mission?"
Before they got far, some of the team members questioned. They thought that they could take on some quests to kill water monsters so that they could fight to their heart's content. At the same time, they could also see how strong their captain was. Now that he had accepted a task to cut water grass, it felt like a farmer cutting chives and harvesting rice. It was so boring.
"Maybe Captain is thinking about our safety. You guys shouldn't complain so much."
Uncle Pagoda Kung Fu was a hardcore supporter of Du Feng and would speak up for him no matter what. However, there was some truth in his words. Everyone had spent money to hire someone to lead the team, so that they could earn more points. Now that there was a mission that could earn points and was relatively safe, why not take it?
At that time, Du Feng would be in charge of guarding, and they could harvest to their heart's content. Although the workload was a little more, the most important thing was safety.
"The Algae Zone isn't as safe as you make it out to be. Water snakes often appear there, and each of them is highly poisonous."
The other team member seemed to be more familiar with the algae area. It was a female team member. She was dressed in black and her face was pale. She looked gloomy as if she was suffering from depression. However, when she analyzed the situation, she was still relatively calm.
The biggest threat in the Algae Zone was indeed the water snakes. Actually, the fish that swam past them rarely attacked. Even if they did, it could be defended. However, water snakes were different. They were the same color and shape as the algae.
Sometimes, warriors did not see clearly and would even mistake the water snakes for the algae. The algae was just wriggling in the water. All they needed to do was grab it and cut it from the root. However, if they grabbed the wrong place and grabbed the water snake, it would be troublesome.
Water snakes usually lay motionless, but they were extremely fast when they bit. When their heads shot out, their mouths could bite the back of a person's hand, wrist, or forearm. Water snakes were extremely poisonous. After being poisoned, the first thing they needed to do was to cut off the arm. If they were a little slow and the snake venom entered the heart or brain, the body would be finished.
"Captain, is there a problem?"
Uncle Pagoda Kung Fu frowned and asked Du Feng worriedly.
"Don't worry. I guarantee that no one will be bitten by the water snakes. However, you must listen to orders."
Since Du Feng dared to lead the team and chose this mission, it meant that he had some confidence. First of all, he had a huge advantage. He was not afraid of snake venom. If it really did not work, he could extend his arm and let the water snake bite him a few times. He would take it as taking the bite on behalf of his teammates.
Another reason was that Xiao Hei was especially good at catching snakes. He also liked to eat snake gall. When the time came, Xiao Hei would patrol the area and kill the water snakes as soon as he saw them. There should not be any problems.
"Did you all hear that? We must listen to the captain's orders."
Uncle Pagoda Kung Fu emphasized on Du Feng's words again after hearing his reply.
Just like that, the group of eight arrived at the riverside. Then, everyone looked at Du Feng, wanting to see what kind of boat he would bring out. Under such circumstances, it was usually the captain who led the team that would bring everyone to the destination. However, after watching for a while, Du Feng did not bring out a boat.
"What are you doing? Don't tell me you're so poor that you don't even have a boat?"
"Yeah, I don't want to swim there. That place is quite far."
"I don't want to swim there either. Can you do it or not?"
Seeing that Du Feng did not bring out a boat, everyone began to complain. These team members were originally second-generation rich, and they were all used to it. The reason why they were willing to pay for Du Feng to lead the team was that they wanted Du Feng to take care of them like a nanny. However, before they entered the water, they were stumped by the problem of the boat.
"It's okay, it's okay. I have a boat!"
Uncle Pagoda Kung Fu was also quite embarrassed because he knew that Du Feng was very capable. He thought that he must have a very good boat. Otherwise, how could he leave the River Demon Island so quickly? However, looking at the current situation, it seemed that Du Feng really did not have a boat, or he was not willing to take it out.
In fact, Du Feng really did have a boat, and it was a different mechanical dragon. However, he was only familiar with Uncle Pagoda Kung Fu. The others were not very trustworthy. Therefore, after thinking about it, it was better to take it out for now. Just as he was hesitating, Uncle Pagoda Kung Fu took out a golden boat.
This boat was not too small, and its hull was painted with a golden light. It was as if it had also practiced Pagoda Kung Fu. Du Feng looked at it and smiled slightly. This was because there were many runes engraved on the boat. These runes were all used to strengthen the boat's defense.
