"Friend, be careful. There are pirates coming."
The black-bearded uncle warned Du Feng, saying that there were pirates coming. He told him to hide first.
Mere pirates. As an Immortal Lord, Du Feng was naturally not afraid. Since the black-bearded uncle had good intentions, he steered the mechanical dragon and dove down first. Indeed, in a short while, two pirate ships flanked over, sandwiching the merchant ship from the left and right. After two collisions, the merchant ship was forced to a complete stop.
"Gentlemen, we've already paid this year's protection fee."
The black-bearded uncle was also considered a veteran in the maritime trade. He understood the rules here very well. If one did not pay the protection fee, as long as they appeared in this region of the sea, they would definitely be robbed.
But just as the black-bearded uncle dared to finish speaking, two iron hooks flew out from the two pirate ships and hooked onto the hull of the ship. Their iron hooks were really impressive. They directly penetrated the protective cover on the deck of the merchant ship.
Du Feng had been observing with his divine sense. He discovered that their iron hooks were not thrown out with their hands. Instead, they were shot out with cannons. Those cannons were a little similar to the Heavenly Opening Cannon, but the cannons were pure black. Furthermore, they did not fire energy bullets.
Just as he was hesitating, a pirate appeared on the two ships on the left and right. These two pirates looked very similar. Both were one-eyed and both had moustaches. One had an eye patch on his left eye, while the other had an eye patch on his right eye. That was to say that one's left eye was blind, while the other's right eye was frightened. Looking at their appearances, these two should be twins.
But the strange thing was that one of them had white skin, while the other was as black as coal. If they were twins born from the same parents, there would not be such a huge difference.
"As you can see, we've split up now. Therefore, we need two portions of protection fee."
Alright. After all this time, it was actually like this. These two were really blood-related brothers. The pirates on the two ships also belonged to the same pirate group. Their original pirate group was called the Black and White Axe Pirate Group. The elder brother was the captain.
Now that the two brothers split up, it became two organizations, the Black Axe Pirate Group and the White Axe Pirate Group. The members were actually still the same people, but they had to collect two portions of protection fee.
"No, this doesn't make sense, right?"
"The rules of the Endless Sea have always been that once you pay the protection fee, you'll be unimpeded. Even the other pirate crews won't stop us anymore. "
Of course, the black-bearded uncle did not agree because he had already paid a protection fee. As long as they paid the protection fee, they should be able to travel unhindered in the Endless Sea for a year. Because the Endless Sea was huge, and their merchant ships were slow. It would take about a year to go to the Underworld to complete the transaction and then return to the Eastern Heaven Realm.
"Don't talk nonsense with me. The rules have changed."
"That's right. In the future, if you pass through our territory, you'll have to pay a protection fee, and you'll have to pay two portions."
The black and white brothers echoed each other, forcing the black-bearded uncle to pay the protection fee, and they even demanded that he pay two more. They didn't even acknowledge what they had handed over before. Because when they handed over their shares, the two brothers hadn't separated yet.
"What you're doing is unreasonable. You're not following the rules. I'm going to tell …"
Before the black-bearded uncle could finish his words, he saw the White Axe Captain slap him in the face. Because the White Axe Captain's fingernails were longer, three bloodstains immediately appeared on the black-bearded uncle's face.
"Don't hit my grandfather. You're all bad guys!"
The others were so scared that they didn't dare to move, but a little girl rushed out. She was the granddaughter of the black-bearded uncle. She was only eight or nine years old and didn't know what fear was.
"Yo, you have such a cute child. Be good, come to uncle. "
The Black Axe Captain's eyes lit up when he saw the little girl and was about to pick her up. In the end, the black-bearded uncle took a step forward and blocked him.
"What, do you want to rebel?"
The Black Axe Captain was obviously fiercer than the White Axe Captain. Du Feng could already see that one of the two brothers was a Meditation Cultivator and the other was a human martial artist. Twin brothers not only had different skin colors, but even their races were different. This kind of situation was quite rare.
The sea here was not far from the Underworld's passageway. There were actually Meditation Cultivators here as an island. This was obviously a collusion between human martial artists and Meditation Cultivators to extort merchant ships doing business here.
"I don't dare, I hope the two captains can make an exception."
In fact, the black-bearded uncle was not weak, but he really didn't dare to fight back. First of all, there were many pirates on the other side's ship, and he only had one person fighting. His son, daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandson, granddaughter, grandson, and so on, none of them had any fighting strength.
Originally, there were a few good people on the ship, but they all died when the ship capsized. Moreover, the Black Axe Captain was a Meditation Cultivator. If they offended him, it would be even more difficult to do business in the Underworld in the future. Therefore, the black-bearded uncle clenched his fists, took a few deep breaths, and finally endured it.
"Make an exception my ass, hurry up and pay me the money."
The Black Axe Captain was obviously a little unhappy that he couldn't carry the little girl away. He suddenly took out a black axe. It seemed like he was going to make a move if they didn't pay up.
"Why should we pay you, we won't pay."
The black-bearded uncle's daughter, the little girl's mother, finally couldn't take it anymore. She didn't want to see her father being bullied, and she didn't want to see her daughter in danger.
"Yo, there's such a beauty here."
This is troublesome. The White Axe Captain's eyes also lit up. He wasn't interested in the little girl, but he was very interested in the little girl's mother.
Previously, the black-bearded uncle's family was in hiding, and he personally dealt with the pirates. He didn't expect that this time, the two island captains would personally board the ship, and such a thing happened.
"How about this, why don't you hand over the people, and this protection fee will be waived."
The White Axe Captain rubbed his hands, and his saliva almost dripped down. After the Black Axe Captain heard this, he also expressed his agreement.
"No, let's talk about it, I will pay the money."
The black-bearded uncle was terrified, he really was terrified. Originally, he thought that if he persisted, he could pay less. Now that they wanted to take away his daughter and granddaughter, if he knew this would happen, he would have given them money from the beginning.
"Okay, then you pay the money first."
The White Axe Captain didn't know why, but he suddenly agreed to this method, but he was clearly still drooling.
"Take it, take it, you guys go quickly."
