Chapter 266: Naga Island

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wuwa—

Wuwa—

Nobody could imagine that horrifying scene on the flat and humid island in the sea, where a snake monster baby with a human head would be lying there every two steps taken. Their faces were covered by scales, and it seemed as if their mouths spent a Herculean effort to open them as wide as possible so that the sounds of wailing could be heard.

That was the Naga, or more accurately, they were the infants of the Naga race.

[Crying Naga Baby] (Elite)

Level 25

Health Points: 100/15,000

Attack: 263-453

Defense: 130

Note: The only function these pitiful Naga infants have here is to use their cries that are filled with Spirits to add gloominess to Crying Bay. The Naga infants, which are in a weak state, have almost no ability to resist, but the scales on them can turn into the highest grade leather.

“F*ck! This is too cruel!” Lin Jie could not help but swear. Then, he was stunned! What had happened to him? All this while, hadn’t he always been thinking logically that everything in the game had just been a pile of statistics? Then, at this moment, why did he actually have a feeling that he had treated them as if they were real and pitied them? Could it be that he had been influenced by Ziliang, Qiu Yuan, and the others? However, this scene was too shocking. He had never seen such a scene in his previous life, over 1,000 of Naga infants wailing continuously. That weird scene, if someone who was timider saw that, most likely, that person would already be paralyzed with fear and have already collapsed on the ground.

Lin Jie shook his head and temporarily threw away these thoughts. Then, he walked closer to the infants to observe them.

As these Naga infants were too young, the thick and heavy scales that the Naga race had always been proud of were tender like when the bamboos first emerged from the ground. Just like how humans liked to use sheep’s soft fur to manufacture clothes, the scales like tender new buds in spring on the Naga infants were the top-notch raw materials for leather and could even create level 25 Gold equipment.

That was a huge amount of fortune! The Naga infants’ names were all blood-red, which meant their health was in critical danger, and Lin Jie only needed to use a few AOE attacks to be able to kill them all and obtain over thousands of level 25 Elite’s experience points and a huge amount of leather.

Lin Jie thought for a while, before getting closer to a Naga baby and checking its body conditions. In The New Age, no matter if it were NPCs or monsters, as long as they were afflicted by sickness, they could basically be cured with Health Potions. Unless it was the abnormal status of “reduce of max health point”. Lin Jie examined for a while. There was no change to the upper limit of the health bar, so he could use the Health Potion.

Usually, 5 to 10 Nagas would be protecting a Naga infant because the Nagas’ ability to reproduce was relatively weaker. Thus, each baby was very precious. That was the reason why Lin Jie had revealed a shocked expression when he had seen so many Naga infants at once.

Such a weird scene, there must be some background story. If he just directly killed all these infants and it went smoothly, he would be able to obtain experience, equipment, and materials. However, if he could trigger a mission, then in this new-found map, maybe, the mission could even be an Epic one. He would definitely be able to get better rewards.

Lin Jie carried a baby up, but his body was in a battle posture, ready to immediately react if there was any sign of trouble. However, what was strange was that no Naga appeared! Logically speaking, at this time, 10 Nagas surrounding him would not be a surprise at all.

“Naga! Come out!” shouted Lin Jie loudly.

The surroundings were still as empty as they could be. There were no movements or sounds at all.

Lin Jie shouted again, “Come out!”

There was still no reply.

‘Damn it, why didn’t I go learn some Naga language before coming out to the sea.’ Lin Jie pursed his lips. Since it was like this, he had to use some universe lingua franca.

He threw the Naga baby up high in the sky and calmly placed Broken Blade on the ground. If no one showed up, that infant would instantly die. Since it only had 100 health points left, it would not be able to endure the powerful attack of Broken Blade.

Whoosh—

An azure blue figure suddenly appeared and grabbed the Naga infant into his hands. What was beyond Lin Jie’s expectations was that its first reaction was not to attack, but... to kneel down. Using its sticky and slippery body to kowtow to Lin Jie continuously as if begging him not to kill the child?

[Naga Race Prophet Braumond] (Gold Boss)

Level: 40

Health Points: 170,000

Magic attack: 456-686

Defense: 150

Additional effect: Naga Scales (Immune to water attribute attacks), Spirit Influence (Your channeling consumption increases by 50%)

“Gold Boss!” Lin Jie instantly pulled out Broken Blade.

That Naga had four long arms, in the Naga race, one’s strength was determined by how many arms one had. The low-level soldiers and slaves only had two arms, while mid-level Nagas, which had wisdom, had four arms, and the leader of Naga race had six arms. As for the chieftain level characters, which had eight arms, they would be the Bosses over level 100.

The Boss was still bowing to him with no intention of fighting.

Lin Jie frowned and said, “You are a Prophet, so you should be able to speak the human language, right? Use it to speak with me!”

At that moment, Lin Jie finally understood the importance of learning a foreign language.

“Ah... Uh....”

The Boss was shocked, and he pointed to his mouth, which was slightly open. To Lin Jie’s astonishment, it actually did not have a tongue! Without a tongue, naturally, he would not be able to speak.

Lin Jie, to express his friendliness, took out a high-level Health Potion and let one Naga baby drink it. The Naga infant’s constitution was very weak, so the potion that was meant for adults to drink was naturally far beyond its endurance ability, and its whole body instantly turned blood-red. Fortunately, it quickly turned back to normal, and it did not cry anymore. The baby broke into a smile and looked towards Lin Jie. A round water ball was channeled onto its right hand and played around Lin Jie’s face, showing its liking towards him.

Ding~

—’The favorability of Crying Island’s Naga towards you has increased to ‘Friendly’.’

Lin Jie actions had obtained the trust of the Boss, so he signaled Lin Jie to follow him and placed a pale-yellowish book into Lin Jie’s hands.

[Naga Language]: After learning the Naga Language, you can converse with Naga and increase 10 points of Knowledge.

Lin Jie was elated, that was a good item! He hurriedly turned the Skill Book into a ray of white light. Then, the Boss nodded his head in delight, and his name turned green. He led the way in front and signaled for Lin Jie to follow.

Lin Jie followed behind the Naga while deep in thought, calculating how he was going to make the best out of the situation now. When he first stepped onto the island and saw that group of Naga infants suffering, Lin Jie had an idea in his heart: Make use of the Nagas!

Naga was one of the few living creatures that could live freely in the ocean, and the Naga Shrine was even in the depths of the Endless Sea, hidden extremely well. Nagas living around the Crying Bay were at least over level 35, and fighting in the ocean was like a duck swimming in the water, their battling powers were quite good. If the Nagas attacked the Simon Pirates and Baili Xuanyuan during their transaction, how wonderful would that be?

With recordings as evidence, it would at most make Baili Xuanyuan become a street rat, which was hated by everyone. However, if he was captured as a criminal, Baili Xuanyuan would at least be jailed for a few years, with such a huge crime, he would definitely need to delete his account! If the Simon Pirates were also caught together, then not mentioning about others, just the Guild of Marine Freedom’s reputation would have a sharp increase! By that time, NPCs would be able to be sent to Crying Bay to develop it, being the base camp of the Simon Pirates, the benefits went without saying! It would definitely be inexhaustible.

With such benefits, Lin Jie would naturally want to give it a try.

The camps of The New Age were diverse, as long as one wanted, anyone could become one’s friend.

The Boss brought Lin Jie to an old and worn down palace. “Ah... Ah...” Such sounds could be heard without end as if there were countless pregnant women giving birth.

When Lin Jie entered, he was completely shocked—there were really pregnant women giving birth, not one, but hundreds! The children would disappear by teleportation the instant they appeared.

“Human!” The tens of male Nagas spat out their half a meter long tongues and rushed up towards Lin Jie. One of the four-armed Nagas even planned to attack by channeling Lightning Arrow.

Boss... Or calling him Prophet would be better. He waved his arm and stopped the four-armed Naga and then used sign language for a while. That Naga started to cry profusely and said respectfully, “I’m sorry for my behavior. Prophet has told me that it was you who saved my child just now. Human, please forgive my recklessness.”

Ding~

—’Naga Gion’s favorability towards you has increased to Admiration.’

Lin Jie widened his eyes! ‘Good job, it just directly reached Admiration? Just what awful thing did the Naga of this island go through?’

“Human, from your eyes, I can somehow feel that you do not discriminate us,” said Gion respectfully. “If you are interested, I really hope that you could listen to the misfortune that has befallen upon us.”

Lin Jie’s eyes lit up. ‘Your misfortune is my mission!’ It was incumbent for him to listen!

“This was all because of those damn Simon Pirates!” When Gion spoke those few words, his expression became ferocious, as if wanting to burst into flames. He took quite a while to calm down and continued, “This was originally not Crying Bay but a beautiful and serene Naga Island. Our race had lived and reproduced here, we also fought with the Mermaid race. Although we, the Nagas, were the symbol of evil, we have never threatened the lives of humans. In fact, to sustain the consumption of the war, the Mermaids worked with us. We were responsible for attacking merchant ships to rob the goods, while they pretended to be righteous and escort the humans, who have shipwrecked, back in exchange for rewards. The loots obtained would be split between us, and we would continue to battle.”

Lin Jie was in a daze. ‘F*ck you, how did the brains of these monsters develop? Could it be that it was their intestines that grew in their head instead?’ Why was he unable to keep up with their logic! He could not help but ask, “Since both races are already willing to cooperate, so why still fight?”

“It’s fate! Mermaids are our nemesis, and war is the only outcome,” said Gion with a face as if it was a matter of fact, which made Lin Jie speechless. Gion continued, “However, in one of our joint operations, we suffered heavy losses as those people had come prepared. After the goods were taken by us, Nagas and when the Mermaids were planning to send them back, they actually used the explosives hid between their teeth to capture the Mermaids and used them to threaten us to disarm and surrender.

“Our nemesis must fight with us and definitely die in our hands! Although we understood that as long as we rejected the humans’ requests, those Mermaids would die. That wasn’t the outcome that we wanted! So we surrendered and gave them the most flourishing island in exchange for the lives of the Mermaids. What was laughable was that the Mermaids just left this area of the sea, while we became captives forever!”

Lin Jie: “...”

“That group of people made all of the female Nagas take a drug which made their bodies mutate. They needed to at least mate for over five times every other day and will then give birth to incomplete babies the next day. We, the Naga race, have at least hundreds of years of lifespan, but these poor children can only live for one year, and all these female Nagas are expending their life to be able to give birth to so many babies. Every time they give birth to a baby, they will lose about half a year of their lifespan.

“The cries of the children gather to form the most formidable spirit waves, and thus “Crying Bay” was created. That group of people named themselves as Simon Pirates and would rob ships all around the bay. The Guild of Light and Tribe of Darkness had once cooperated in killing the Simon Pirates, but under the deterrence of Crying Bay, the matter was left unsettled in the end.

“Now, every day, the pitiful female Nagas must give birth to near 100 babies to be teleported to each island so that Crying Bay’s power can be maintained and strengthened. We tried to resist them, but female Nagas, who do not mate for two days, their bodies would explode in the night of the second day! We-we really... cannot persist anymore.”

Lin Jie was dumbfounded after listening to the story. ‘What a terrible tragedy!’

When looking at that buff Naga crying his eyes out in front of him, Lin Jie’s eyes turned cold.

He gritted his teeth and said, “Darn it! All of them should be killed!”
