Half an hour later, in the place where pirates usually held their feasts, tables were laden with a variety of foods and an assortment of stolen fine wines.
The Pirate Leader, a robust figure, curled himself into a ball as much as he could, standing aside to personally pour wine for his guest, his cautious demeanor growing increasingly peculiar.
Xiar sat there, devouring various roasted meats and fruits, washing them down with bowl after bowl of exquisite wine.
Floating on the sea for days had allowed him to truly savor the experience of dining al fresco, a far cry from the hunger he had felt before.
On the ocean, he could only eat raw fish; there was nothing else to be found, leaving him with a mouth full of fishy taste.
Now that he had returned from the primitive life of survival to human society, Xiar certainly wouldn’t skimp on satisfying his appetite.
After all, his physique was astonishing now; his digestive power was excessively strong, and indulging in gluttony wouldn’t harm him at all.
Most importantly, after the previous modifications, his body had developed an incredible resistance to toxins. Even poisons deadly enough to kill could be downed like water!
"This is quite good wine; it seems to come from Antu City. The fish is overcooked; you need to practice that more. Also, while Nine Poison Grass has a sour taste, it's not suitable as a seasoning; it can easily kill someone."
Xiar finished off a pot of soup in one gulp, causing beads of sweat to instantly appear on the forehead of the Pirate Leader, who hurriedly spoke up: "My lord, adding that was absolutely unintentional; it’s likely someone acted on their own."
"No worries, no worries. I don’t mind. Just know that if you add it while eating, it might very well lead to someone's demise," Xiar said with a half-smile.
Nine Poison Grass—its toxicity rivaled that of arsenic; even a plant the size of a leek could poison a group of people. Unfortunately for others, it was completely useless against him.
That time he consumed the Evolution Potion had fundamentally changed his constitution, and astonishing transformations continued to occur within him.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The Pirate Leader wiped the sweat from his brow and nodded repeatedly, increasingly aware of the terrifying nature of the person before him.
After all, this pot contained several poisonous herbs that could kill all the pirates present, yet the other party drank it down without batting an eye.
Was this even human?
After finishing his meal, Xiar let out a satisfied burp and finally remembered the important matter at hand. "Alright, prepare some food and water for me, and also lend me some Source Crystals. I need to leave."
"How many do you need?" The Pirate Leader breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that the other party did not intend to stay long, which was a relief. Although incredibly strong, he was not a cause for concern.
"Not much, just prepare ten thousand for me."
"Ten thousand! Why don't you just go rob someone!"
The Pirate Leader exclaimed in shock. Ten thousand Source Crystals was no small amount; it could be exchanged for one hundred million in Morent, enough to buy a Rune Factory!
"We're all civilized people here; there's no need to be so rude. I'm asking you nicely to lend them to me. Are you unwilling?" Xiar smiled broadly, his white teeth gleaming in the firelight.
Gulp!
The Pirate Leader swallowed hard and replied with difficulty, "I'll lend them! Definitely lend them! Even more if you want!"
"Oh? You're so hospitable! Then make it twenty thousand," Xiar said in surprise.
The Pirate Leader felt like crying without tears, wanting to slap himself for being so reckless with his words.
Ten thousand Source Crystals. He gritted his teeth and decided to take them out; it wouldn’t affect his future research. But twenty thousand Source Crystals was equivalent to digging into his savings, and he would have to use them sparingly from now on.
Faced with the unreasonable demands of the person before him, the Pirate Leader could only swallow his anger and say, “Alright, alright, I’ll get them for you.”
“You’re a good man, brother. Just have someone grab it for you, and let’s continue drinking and chatting here,” Xiar said, patting him on the shoulder with a smile.
The Pirate Leader immediately felt as if a giant bear's paw was pressing down on his shoulder—heavy beyond measure, making him too afraid to move.
Clearly, the other party was worried he might flee recklessly, so he had no choice but to send one of his crew members to fetch the Source Crystals.
After a while, Xiar left the island carrying a box of items, while Warner and the others stayed behind to wait.
After all, among these pirates, there were only three Second-Level Spirit Masters. Warner could easily take them all down himself, not to mention Zoro and the Lion Hunter, both of whom were Third Rank powerhouses.
Once he left the island, Xiar sprinted across the surface of the sea, leaving a trail of splashes behind him like those fast-moving yachts.
Now his running speed was more than ten times that of the world record from his previous life. Coupled with a formidable mental force that could materialize, he was able to perform feats akin to walking on water.
Once his mental force surpassed zero points, he could already materialize images into reality. After exceeding forty points, he could even float in mid-air like Chloe had done earlier.
Putting those thoughts aside, Xiar arrived at the giant turtle’s location and sent a mental wave into its mind: “I can save you, but in exchange, you need to become my servant. I’m sorry; I have no other way to help you!”
To be honest, his actions were no different from Hilton’s—both had intervened to save someone only to seize the opportunity to enslave them afterward.
What surprised him was that the giant turtle actually transmitted a wave of agreement!
"Very well, let's begin. Do not resist!"
Xiar did not dare to hesitate any longer; the flicker of life within the other was growing dimmer, likely to extinguish in just a few hours.
Buzz~
He poured a box of Source Crystals over the other's head. Colorful Radiance erupted as each Source Crystal emitted a Grayish White glow, forming strands that quickly enveloped the massive body of the giant turtle.
The Source Crystals shattered instantly, transforming into pure energy consumed by the Colorful Puffball.
The enormous body of the turtle, spanning hundreds of meters, was completely shrouded in colorful light, appearing like a mirage.
After three hours, this transformation finally came to an end, leaving less than one-tenth of the Source Crystals intact!
………………
The sun leaped above the horizon, casting golden rays that illuminated the area in a dazzling brilliance.
A group of people stood at the edge of the island, watching in terror as the Behemoth slowly approached—a terrifying presence comparable to the island itself!
"There's no need to be afraid; this is Xiar's pet," Warner explained with a smile.
Despite the reassurance, the pirates who had lived on the sea for half their lives had never seen such a colossal beast. Awe filled their faces as they realized that this terrifyingly strong youth possessed such a massive totem.
The Pirate Leader could sense that this beast was not an ordinary creature but a terrifying existence that had undergone Ultimate Evolution, capable of annihilating all the pirates present!
Moments later, the giant turtle surfaced on the sea, and the Silver-Haired Young Man walked across the water with a shy smile on his face. "It seems I still need to borrow something from you."
"What is it?" The Pirate Leader felt a shiver run down his spine at the word "borrow," and he asked nervously.
"You must have found a Source Crystal Vein, right?"
The next words sent him into a complete panic, as his greatest secret had been discovered.
The value of a Source Crystal Vein far surpassed that of the oil fields on Aqua Star.
Oil fields could ignite brutal wars; how much worse would it be for a Source Crystal Vein?
Could it be that he intended to kill him to keep it quiet?!
"Don't worry, I'm not going to borrow that mine from you. I just need to borrow a little bit..."
"How much Source Crystal do you want?"
Xiar beamed with a bright smile. "No, you've misunderstood me. What I want is your entire Pirate Crew!"
