A deep, husky male voice emerged from within the Man in Black's body.
Upon hearing this voice, Black Commander said, "We've spent so much time here, and now we're finally on the verge of success. Once we succeed, I'll fulfill what I promised you."
The Man in Black said nothing more. He simply stood up and flew directly toward Luo Feng's group.
On the shore, Luo Feng was furiously attacking the Black Ghouls, but his attention remained fixed on the small island at the center of Black Lake. He kept a close watch on the reactions of the Man in Black and Black Commander.
Although Luo Feng could see their figures, he couldn't make out what they were saying. He didn't possess any superhuman hearing abilities. As for lip-reading, Luo Feng had never studied it and didn't understand it at all. Even if he had learned it, it wouldn't have been much use. Ordinary speech was quite different from the way these cultivators spoke.
Most importantly, lip-reading only worked on humans. The fact that Black Egg could talk—something that in the past would only be seen in movies and TV shows—was now a reality. In the real world, works featuring talking black eggs had been reported and banned by certain self-righteous parents. "How can a black egg talk? This will distort children's understanding of reality!" they argued. "It'll corrupt their values! Try finding a real black egg that can talk!" Such media, deemed harmful to children's perception, had to disappear from public view.
Fortunately, Luo Feng wasn't a child. His worldview wouldn't be influenced by such media, so he could freely watch these shows. At this moment, a huge question arose in Luo Feng's mind: Why do people ignore the good lessons in some media and instead focus on the bad ones? Take Luo Feng, for example—ever since arriving in the Ocean Survival World, he had worked hard every day, gathering resources and improving his strength. His diligence was truly worth learning from.
As Luo Feng pondered this, the Man in Black had already reached the shore and was approaching them. Luo Feng was riding on Black Tortoise, whose movement speed wasn't particularly fast. Several minutes had passed, and they were still some distance away from Black Lake.
When the Man in Black drew near, he didn't attack immediately. Instead, he spoke. "What are you people doing here? This isn't a place you should be." A male voice echoed in Luo Feng's and the others' ears.
Hearing this voice, they were all shocked. The three girls thought to themselves, "There really is a human here—and it's a man's voice!" Normally, upon hearing such a voice, they would have immediately looked to see who it was. But Luo Feng had already warned them not to look at this person's appearance, or they might be in danger. They had taken his words to heart.
Fortunately, the Man in Black was wearing a mask, so they could roughly see his position. If a fight broke out later, they could at least be somewhat prepared. Still, they didn't dare let their gazes linger on the mask for too long.
With just a glance, he looked away.
At this moment, Luo Feng was even more shocked and bewildered than the three women.
Luo Feng remembered that beneath the mask of the Man in Black was a face of peerless beauty.
So why was there now a male voice coming from him?
Could it be a cross-dressing expert?
If someone so stunning turned out to be a man, Luo Feng would undoubtedly feel extremely frustrated.
Instead of hastily responding to the Man in Black, Luo Feng activated the Clairvoyance Charm to observe the figure once more.
First, her face—still the same bewitching, peerless beauty as before.
Luo Feng only glanced briefly before shifting his gaze downward.
Mountains, forests, valleys.
(A normal natural environment.
Luo Feng was a nature enthusiast, often admiring natural landscapes—don't overthink it.)
After this inspection, Luo Feng was certain: this couldn't possibly be a cross-dressing expert.
As for the male voice, it must have been deliberately disguised.
There was no time for Luo Feng to dwell on it further.
Because these "natural landscapes" had already delivered an overwhelming impact on his mind and spirit.
The Succubus Clan truly lived up to its name.
Just a look was enough to leave Luo Feng feeling restless, as if a fire were burning inside him.
Now, his eyes were practically ablaze.
This startled Luo Feng.
He dared not entertain any further thoughts and quickly summoned the Beauty Diagram to dispel the effects.
Thankfully, his SSS-grade talent proved effective.
The influence gradually faded from his mind.
Otherwise, Luo Feng might have lost control and started fighting those around him.
The mere thought of such a scene was thrilling.
But Luo Feng certainly didn't want that to happen.
The surroundings were filled with Black Ghouls, not to mention the Man in Black and the Black Commander.
It was hardly the right setting.
Once Luo Feng regained his composure, he steadied his emotions and turned his gaze back to the Man in Black.
This time, he didn't use the Clairvoyance Charm.
He spoke slowly, "Our purpose here is simple—just two things.
First, the Treasure Map Fragment. I believe it's in your possession, isn't it?
You must be the legendary leader of the Hurricane Pirate Crew, right?
Though I wonder, why are you here?"
The Man in Black frowned slightly. She had sensed something unusual earlier—as if someone had been peeking at her body.
She was highly sensitive to such things.
But the sensation had vanished in less than a second.
Could it have been her imagination?
Just as she was pondering, Luo Feng's voice reached her.
To her surprise, this man had directly identified her.
Her gaze sharpened as she studied Luo Feng, spotting a Bounty Hunter's emblem on him.
So, he was a Bounty Hunter.
A faint smile crossed her lips. "I didn't expect anyone to recognize me after all this time away from Mist Island.
The Hurricane Pirate Crew… yes, it was an organization I casually established back then.
To be precise, it was created by a few of my subordinates.
I'm not very familiar with the inner workings of the Hurricane Pirate Crew myself."
This is not my goal.
As for the Treasure Map Fragment you just mentioned, it is indeed in my possession.
But why should I give it to you?
If you know what's good for you, leave now and I might spare your lives.
