"Where do you think you're going?"
Gu Xiaobei's reaction wasn't slow. Unfortunately, they didn't leave. Because the people from the Shark Gang had already surrounded them.
"This must be Boss Du."
The leader was a yellow-faced man. He wore a short-sleeved shirt and looked like a fisherman. The people beside him all had harpoons in their hands. They didn't look like they were easy to deal with.
"What do you want to do? Fighting is not allowed on Fan Yin Island."
Gu Xiaobei saw that the situation wasn't good and immediately brought out the rules of Fan Yin Island.
"Fighting is not allowed on Fan Yin Island, but beast fighting is not allowed."
"Our Tiger Shark beast, if it accidentally hurts Boss Du, it won't be good."
"Yeah, Boss Du, why don't you pay the medical fees in advance to save trouble in the future."
The people from the Shark Gang were really mean. They knew that warriors were not allowed to fight each other on Fan Yin Island. Because there were human warriors, beast cultivators, soul cultivators, fishmen, and even members of the Dragons came here to play and shop. If there weren't strict rules, they would probably fight each other.
But they found a loophole in the rules. There was no rule that said beast fighting was not allowed. Beast fighting was a fight between two beasts. It wasn't a fight between humans. But in the process of beast fighting, one could 'accidentally' hurt someone.
"We don't accept beast fighting challenges."
When Gu Xiaobei heard this, he quickly rejected their request for a beast fight. Once they agreed to it, they would have to determine the victor. The people from the Shark Gang were shameless. During beast fighting, a group of sharks would attack together and bully someone else's beast.
In this kind of ocean environment, normal beasts would be at a disadvantage. The surrounding energy was so rich, and the group of shark beasts were very fierce. Especially the yellow-faced man who led the group. His beast was a Tiger Shark, which was famous for its ferocity. If they really fought on the beach, brother Du would definitely be at a disadvantage.
"Do you think we won't fight just because you said so? Play with us brothers."
Saying that, the people from the Shark Gang took the initiative to release their beasts. Huge sharks surrounded Du Feng and Gu Xiaobei and started to spin. As they spun, the surrounding water vapor became thicker and actually formed a body of water on the beach. Fortunately, martial artists were able to hold their breaths. Otherwise, they would have drowned to death in this environment.
"Look, the Sharks Gang is collecting taxes again."
"Tax? What tax?"
Such a big commotion quickly attracted the attention of many tourists, including some old residents of Brahma Sound Island. Some of them understood how the Shark Gang operated. Whoever wanted to buy goods from Brahma Sound Island and sell them would have to pay taxes based on the value of the transaction. Because the goods you buy from here will be sold at a higher price, so this tax is called value-added tax.
"What the hell is value-added tax? Our shop owners came all the way here just to earn that little bit of price difference. How could they still levy taxes on us?"
A middle-aged uncle couldn't stand it anymore because he had also come to Brahma Sound Island to sell things. To go from the mainland to Brahma Sound Island, one had to pay for a ticket and risk their lives. Along the way, they might die on the ship, or they might die on some island. He had worked so hard to earn some money, but now he had to be taxed by these bastards. He really couldn't understand. However, because this middle-aged uncle's business was small, he didn't buy many things, and he wasn't as generous as Du Feng, so he hadn't been targeted yet.
"Shh, brother, be quiet. You're attracting the attention of the Sharks Gang."
The old resident was right. He was lucky that he hadn't been targeted by the Sharks Gang. If he made such a big fuss, he would have to pay taxes if he was targeted. No matter how big or small the business was, as long as he was targeted by the Sharks Gang, he would have to pay taxes.
"They aren't the builders of Brahma Sound Island, so why should they be taxed?"
It wasn't just the middle-aged uncle who was unhappy. Many shop owners and stall owners were also unhappy. Because of the Sharks Gang's random taxes, many of their customers didn't dare to come. These shop owners had already paid taxes to the Brahma Sound Island officials. Now that their customers had come to buy goods, they were going to be taxed again by the dark forces. However, the Brahma Sound Island officials turned a blind eye to this.
"Do you think that without the officials' permission, they would dare to be so arrogant?"
At this moment, an experienced shop owner spoke. He had opened a few chain shops on Brahma Sound Island and could be said to be very experienced. He had the right to say this. Old customers who had worked with him for a long time could learn some tricks. For example, when they were restocking goods, they could reduce the amount each time. When they returned to the inn, they could change their appearance and restock again. They had to use the method of small amounts multiple times and change their appearance as much as possible so that they wouldn't be targeted by the Sharks Gang. If they encountered them once or twice, it didn't matter if they paid a little less tax. In short, they could avoid it as much as possible.
Unfortunately, Du Feng didn't go to his place to restock, so he didn't learn this ingenious method. Now that he was surrounded by nine sharks and soaked in saltwater, he didn't know how to deal with them.
"King of the Extreme North, command the bears. Activate!"
Seeing this situation, Gu Xiaobei decided to summon his beast first. In this kind of ocean environment, beasts on land were at a disadvantage. His beast was the Northern Underworld Bear King. It was a very ferocious bear species in the Extreme North, and it was the king of them. It often broke the ice to catch fish and eat, so it was quite familiar with the ocean environment.
"Aiyo, we met a big guy."
Originally, the Sharks Gang's main target was Du Feng. However, they didn't expect that the shop assistant beside him was actually the owner of the Northern Underworld Bear King. If it was just a few shark beasts, they really wouldn't be a match for the Northern Underworld Bear King. But this time, they had more people, and they still had a trump card.
"Tiger of the Forest, Shark of the Ocean, King of Invincible, activate!"
The leader of the yellow-faced man summoned his beast, a huge Tiger Shark. From the beast's chant, it could be heard that the King of the Forest was a tiger, and the King of the Ocean was his Tiger Shark. King of Invincible was really arrogant.
"Roar!"
When this Tiger Shark appeared, it actually let out a tiger-like roar. The surrounding water rose again, scaring the onlookers into retreating, afraid that they would be sucked into the strange saltwater environment. Now, everyone looked at the people inside as if they were looking at marine animals inside a tank, and Du Feng and Gu Xiaobei were one of the scenery inside the tank.
"What should we do, Brother Du, should we call for help?"
