Chapter Thirty: Butterfly Effect

  (Today's second update is here, Moe's summon collection click votes, everyone please support)

  Be a slave or be stewed into soup, which one would you choose?

  Without a doubt, no normal creature wants to become a pot of soup. So when the cow-headed people jumped onto the deck with killing intent, before Lila could even launch her frying pan eighteen strikes, all the pirates including the captain of the guard had already surrendered neatly with their heads in their hands.

  In fact, Edward reacted faster and directly pounced on Lin Taiping's face, hugging his shoes and refusing to let go: "Woo woo woo, great wise and intelligent sir, please accept my humble service! From now on I am your dog, you tell me who to bite and I will bite them, guaranteeing that once I bite, I won't let go!"

  "You're quite adaptable, aren't you..." Lin Taiping transformed back into his human form and patted his pocket, only to quickly discover that he had finished his last cigarette.

  "Sir, please use mine." At the critical moment, Edward suddenly became very clever and quickly took out a cigar from his pocket. Not only did he present it to him with both hands, but also volunteered to light it for the adult.

  "You despicable bastard, do you think you can get away with this?" Toru's large hand shot out and grabbed Edward's collar, pulling him right in front of himself. "Hand it over, give us all your possessions. If we're satisfied, I'll only break five of your legs!"

  Why five legs? Poor Edward didn't understand at all, but looking at the fierce and evil appearance of the cow-headed man, he could only surrender with tears streaming down his face, handing over all his belongings, and then voluntarily offering to abandon his dark past and become a guide for the guards and pirates.

  "This is barely acceptable, consider yourself lucky." Thorold's angry hum was still not dissipated as he dragged Edward away to slowly search the ship for treasure, which meant that next it would be the turn of the captain of the guard to be unlucky.

  "Take your time, remember to be careful, not even a single gold coin can be missed." Lin Taiping reminded with a smile, and then shifted his attention back to himself, from human suddenly turning into a skull, and then from the skull suddenly turning back into a human, this feeling was really strange.

  However, it must be acknowledged that the big scammers in the Temple of Gods this time are not so deceptive. At least for now, the primary racial transformation talent obtained is more powerful than imagined. Not only can they transform into undead skulls, but also directly leap to become skull warriors among the undead, which is equivalent to a bronze-level warrior.

  "Alright, no need to cultivate at all and can greatly increase combat power. This effortless gain is better than hard cultivation... What? You say the cultivation process is a wonderful memory? Cough cough, then you enjoy the process slowly, our family still prefers effortless gain."

  What's more, this is just the first level of racial transformation talent. After sacrificing more magic crystals next time, there may be even stronger races to choose from. Heaven knows what the top-level racial transformation talent will be, maybe it can directly transform into a dragon, standing at the top of the food chain?

  "So, for now, the goal of sacrifice will be to temporarily upgrade racial talent conversion." He lightly spat out a smoke ring, and in the swirling smoke, he clarified his path of advancement for the next period of time.

  Almost at the same time, a excited roar came from not far away, Tulou's eyes turned red and rushed back crazily, his two front hooves trembling violently like cramps, making people suspect that he had got mad cow disease: "Lin, dear Lin, guess how much harvest we have got?"

  Alright, just by looking at Turo's foaming mouth, Lin Taiping knew that he would definitely make a fortune this time. However, even so, when he heard the number reported by Turo, he was still shocked and almost threw away his cigarette.

  "How much? 500,000 gold coins?" Unbelievable, Lin Taiping suddenly felt that he was going to go crazy too. This is outrageous! After all the hardships on Rhode Island, they had only earned around 10 million gold coins, but just by plundering this pirate ship, they had already earned half of their wealth.

  "That's right, a full 50,000 gold coins." Toru nodded desperately, pointing to Edward beside him who was clutching his chest in pain and bleeding. "Heh heh, this guy has too many enemies, so he put his assets in a storage ring and carried it with him, then..."

  No wonder! Lin Taiping only felt that it was a matter of course, Edward as the agent of the pirates on Rhode Island must have accumulated a large fortune, although this wealth should all be for the pirates, but now I will take it down without being polite.

  Speaking of pirates, he suddenly remembered something important and turned his head with a smile, looking at Edward who was still painful about the loss: "Hmm, dear Mr. Edward, can you tell me what kind of person is the one who made you guys attack me?"

  "This is...Unexpectedly, Edward hesitated and didn't dare to speak, looking very fearful of the mastermind behind him."

  "You damned bastard, how dare you not speak?" Tu Lu glared with his cow-like eyes and roared fiercely, "Hurry up and confess honestly, if you dare to tell half a lie, I'll...I'll...I'll eat you!"

  Heaven and earth have a conscience, Tuluo actually doesn't eat people, but the problem is that Edward didn't know, he looked at those two rows of snow-white teeth rubbing against each other, and immediately collapsed from body to soul: "I said, I said, sir, this has nothing to do with me, it's all the order of Captain Blood Eye, wuwuwu, I'm being forced!"

  Bloody Captain? Lin Taiping puffed on his cigar, and upon hearing this name, he couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly. Although he wasn't familiar with this world, after arriving at Rhode Island, he had heard of this notorious name several times.

  It is said that the pirate captain known as Blood Eye had already reached the Bronze Middle Rank several years ago, enough to rival Lin Taiping's transformed Skull General. Moreover, he also possessed three warships with fierce firepower, commanding hundreds of bloodthirsty and brutal pirates who could pile up victories even at the cost of lives.

  In the past few years, this brutal and bloodthirsty pirate captain and his subordinates have become a deadly threat to the navigation routes near Rhode Island. Unlike other pirates, Bloody Eye not only robbed passing merchant ships but also killed everyone on board each time, sparing no women or children, which is enough to prove his ruthlessness.

  And now, this brutal pirate captain has apparently chosen his next target. However, it's strange that if he really can't wait to take action, why didn't he board the warship himself, but instead sent the chief of the guard?

  "That's because..." Edward seemed to want to hide something, but when he saw Turo gnashing his teeth again, he suddenly panicked and shouted, "I'm telling you, I'm telling you, Captain Blood was originally going to come in person, but just before departure, he received news of a big deal, so he rushed off to do that big deal."

  Lin Taiping poured himself a glass of red wine and upon hearing this, his heart skipped a beat: "Huh, what's meant by 'a big deal'?"

  "Slaves! It's a slave trade!" Edward was quite clever this time, directly blurting out the beans in one breath.

  In fact, Bloody Captain was originally going to take action himself, but six days ago, one of his pirate ships deviated from its route due to a typhoon and unexpectedly discovered more than a dozen Dark Elves on a deserted island...

  There is no doubt that the dark elf, a charming and seductive dark creature, has always been a luxury item on the slave market. In order to get a beautiful dark elf female slave, nobles would even spend thousands of gold coins, but even so, it is often unaffordable.

  It's worth noting that Dark Elves are not like those inferior Earth Elves, numerous but powerless to resist. Even the most ordinary Dark Elf is an excellent assassin, skilled in stealth and assassination using **. With just a slight carelessness, even a strong warrior far surpassing them would fall under their dagger.

  So, after learning about the clues of this group of dark elves, the Blood Eye Captain was greatly moved, but still had some fear. However, at this time, the pirate who escaped from the deserted island told him that the number of dark elves was not many, and strangely, the leader of the dark elves seemed to have contracted a severe flu...

  "Pffft!" Before the words had even left his lips, Lin Taiping suddenly spat out a mouthful of wine and began to cough violently, his face turning bright red.

  Deserted island? Dark elf? Influenza... wait a minute, why do these words sound so familiar?
