In the alliance, the more they attack me, the stronger I become!

After saying that, Sarah didn't give the other party any chance to ask questions and walked out of the hotel directly.

Cheng Xiao is a part of her plan, but it cannot be the whole plan. In order to get revenge, she still has many things to plan.

Cheng Xiao didn't care. After studying the maps of Bilgewater and Shadow Isles for a while, he left the hotel.

The portrait on the wanted poster doesn't look particularly like him, but some of the features are basically consistent. In fact, it is very dangerous for him to walk on the street in broad daylight, as he might be reported.

But he didn't care.

To be honest... based on his understanding of Bilgewater, there was no one in this area who could pose a threat to him.

If you insist on saying there are any dangers, it is only the "Three Terror Legends" of Bilgewater - the murloc Fizz, the deep-sea titan Nautilus, and the Bloodhaven Pike.

But those three are "neutral" beings and they will not harm you if you don't provoke them, so there is no need to worry.

Cheng Xiao walked swaggeringly on the street, observing the port city invaded by the Noxians.

More and more Noxian soldiers arrived here, and many shop owners or port owners became Noxians, and the streets were full of bounty posters for Gangplank - only Noxians dared to post Gangplank wanted posters everywhere.

Obviously, they also know who is the boss in Bilgewater now.

As long as Gangplank is still alive, Bilgewater cannot be considered completely occupied by Noxus.

The Pirate King's status in Bilgewater is almost equivalent to that of a king.

Well...it's worth mentioning that Gangplank and Noxus have a grudge against each other - Gangplank dares to rob anyone and is ruthless to Noxus' ships. He even robbed Swain's "Leviathan".

Whatever their purpose, the Noxians would love to chop Gangplank into a pulp.

Cheng Xiao strolled around while thinking, his mind full of speculations about that bad woman LeBlanc - he really didn't know what in Bilgewater and its surrounding cities was worthy of LeBlanc's covetousness.

If I had to say... The Revenant of the Shadow Isles? The Harrowing?

Those things were the only ones that could possibly attract LeBlanc's attention and interest...but what on earth did LeBlanc want to do with them?

Cheng Xiao was puzzled.

But the more he couldn't think of it, the more his brain couldn't help but think about it.

Gradually, he felt extremely irritated and even had an urge to destroy things.

When he came to his senses, he found himself standing in front of the gate of the Noxian military camp.

Several Noxian soldiers were questioning him loudly, and some had already gripped their weapons, with a hint of insult in their words.

This made Cheng Xiao, who was already irritable, even more irritable.

For a moment, he felt as if something in his mind was disconnected.

His previous hesitation was now resolved into a decisive decision - just tear down the homes of these Noxians.

Someone will always tell him what LeBlanc wants to do.

Even if no one knows, at least it can ruin Leblanc's good fortune.

"You bunch of Noxians..." Cheng Xiao couldn't help but recall the tragic experience three years ago, and an inexplicable anger rose in his heart.

He drew the Doran sword from his back, and the power to control the earth began to brew.

But at the last moment when he was about to go berserk...

"catch him!!"

A roar sounded behind Cheng Xiao, followed by the sound of people running.

He looked back and saw a group of fully armed Noxian soldiers chasing a fat man dressed as a sailor.

At just one glance, Cheng Xiao felt that the fat man looked very familiar.

His mind gradually calmed down, and the memories of three years ago gradually overlapped with that face... that was...

The experimental subject who was experimented on with him at that time?

Without any hesitation, Cheng Xiao swung his sword in that direction.

Rumble...!

In an instant, a strange earthquake struck. Although its power was far from enough to tear the earth apart, it was still enough to knock down the heavily armored Noxian soldiers.

Some of the soldiers who were still able to chase were frozen into ice sculptures under the effect of ice magic.

Cheng Xiao temporarily gave up the idea of ​​destroying the military camp and instead grabbed the fat man who was running away with his head in his hands.

The latter also recognized him instantly: "You are... No. 47...!?"

"Yeah." Cheng Xiao didn't say anything extra. He easily threw the fat man dozens of meters with one hand and threw him onto a cargo ship docked at the dock not far away. Then he took a running start and jumped onto the ship. Finally, he rowed quickly to leave the pursuers behind him far behind.

He was not afraid of those ordinary soldiers, nor was he afraid of Leblanc who might come after hearing the news, but he was not sure if he could protect others from Leblanc.

The fat man was still in shock.

He looked at the Noxian soldiers on the shore, and it took him a long time to breathe a sigh of relief.

If he were caught by those Noxian soldiers, he would definitely be sent back to that horrible laboratory... He would definitely live a life worse than death again!

"Thank you, No. 47... Thank you..."

The fat man thanked him repeatedly, but Cheng Xiao just waved his hand indifferently.

He was surprised to meet LeBlanc's "experimental subjects" here, and at the same time he felt as if he had suddenly realized something - could it be that Bilgewater gathered many escaped experimental subjects, and LeBlanc's goal was to capture them all?

"Why are you here?" Cheng Xiao asked immediately, "Are there any other 'experimental subjects' here?"

But the fat man shook his head: "I fled here when the laboratory was destroyed. It's been a while... As for whether there are other people here, I don't know."

"So..." Hearing this, Cheng Xiao was a little disappointed.

His inner restlessness slowly rose again.

He began to wonder again whether Leblanc wanted to capture the experimental subjects, or had some other purpose... He couldn't think of it, but he couldn't help but keep thinking about it.

The fat man next to him also looked unhappy.

It wasn't because he was still worried about being caught, but because...

A familiar voice sounded in his mind.

He saw a pair of long and narrow catfish tentacles in the calm sea.

He knew it was time to pay his reward...

"Greedy human, you've already escaped with my help. Now it's your turn to reward me..."

The moment he heard the voice, the fat man tremblingly took out a coin from his pocket and wanted to throw it into the sea to get the protection of "Hu Mu".

But the demon's voice was faster than his actions:

"No god will bless you, a greedy gambler... Or do you want to pay with gold coins? Oh no, I am not short of money, I am a king, I am a devil, I am the richest gambler..."

"What I want is—food."

Chapter 107 Thick Skin!

Cheng Xiao originally wanted to ask something from his former "colleague", but unfortunately the other party also knew nothing.

He was also one of the first to escape the lab—when Rell's energy burst through the cage. At that time, many of the experimental subjects fled in different directions. Cheng Xiao relied on his immortality to escape directly to the Freljord, the harshest environment and the most difficult to capture. This man fled to Bilgewater.

What happened after that... He knew nothing about the laboratory, Leblanc, or even the plans of the Noxian Empire.

Although it was a pity, Cheng Xiao did not blame the other party. They were all poor people who had escaped from that hell on earth, and he could understand the other party's current situation. He planned to send the other party to a safe place, and then go back to the slaughter dock to make a scene.

Since we still haven't gotten any useful information, we have to go back to the starting point... tear down all the Noxian military camps. Even if we can't get anything out of them, we have to make Leblanc uncomfortable.

In short, we can't let that old woman have it so easy.

"I have some gold coins here. I brought them from Freljord... Although they're different from the silver serpent coins commonly used in Bilgewater, I believe gold has purchasing power everywhere."

Cheng Xiao generously gave all the gold coins in her bag to the other party.

But the fat man didn't accept it immediately.

His outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and his narrow eyes gradually widened as he looked at the sea.

Cheng Xiao was puzzled, but he didn't really want to ask. He simply tossed the gold coin into the other person's hand and continued to ponder Leblanc's conspiracy.

For some reason, he always felt very irritated.

Although he tried his best to restrain himself and force his brain to calm down, his inner desire for the truth made him unable to stop imagining, but he could not think of anything. However, the more he couldn't think of it, the more he wanted to think about it... and eventually fell into an endless vicious cycle.

He had calmed down for a moment when he was saving people just now, but now he became extremely irritable again.

He didn't even want to care about anyone or anything anymore. Even the "colleague" in front of him couldn't arouse his desire to communicate - even though the other party's strange behavior made him feel a little weird.

What exactly is LeBlanc trying to do... Why did the Noxians occupy Bilgewater... Are their arrest warrant for Gangplank simply to prove to the people that the so-called Pirate King is no match for the Empire?

What does LeBlanc want... What is it about Bilgewater that attracts her... Treasure, power, seals, magic... or the Harrowing Night...

What strange secrets are hidden on the Shadow Island...

Cheng Xiao is eager to find out the truth that is impossible to find out for the time being, and this is a kind of "greed".

The endless depression in his heart made this "greed" gradually evolve into "obsession".

What he didn't notice was that the fat man sitting opposite him had already revealed an expression of horror.

The voice that only he could hear kept lingering in his ears... He wanted to tell No. 47 about this, he wanted to ask for help, but a strange force gripped his throat, preventing him from speaking...

He knew very well that it was the devil who came to collect a debt.

"What do you want to do? You're as foolish as a fish in a river. Since you've taken the fisherman's bait, you'll naturally have to pay a price... You can't escape."

The sound was like a sharp knife piercing the fat man's heart, almost suffocating him.

"Look, I fulfilled my promise—I helped you escape. I didn't say I would do it myself, but I found help for you. Doesn't that count? You should pay me..."

The fat man shook his head desperately, realizing that he had made a terrible mistake.

Making a deal with the devil will not end well.

Even the youngest child knows that there is absolutely no such thing as a free gift in this world...but why did he make such a low-level mistake?

He recalled the legends he had heard in the tavern, which he had dismissed as the drunken ravings of gamblers and drinkers—how could there be giant talking catfish? How could a terrifying demon swim in the river? How could someone so fat that they had to sew two coats together?

Those legends that he once didn't believe in and even looked down upon have now been verified one by one... Yes, he was fooled.

He should believe the drunkard's "nonsense" - no matter how tempting the devil's sweet words are, as long as you believe them, you will be lost in his mouth...

"Two...two...coats..."

The fat man looked at his beard gradually rising from the sea, and finally managed to utter a syllable with difficulty through his strangled throat. He used all his strength and uttered the dreaded infamy in horror:

"Tahm Kench...!"

Wow——!

The calm sea was broken by an even more bloated figure. The fat man saw the nightmare of his life - also his last nightmare.

A big, ugly, bloated fish.

A catfish.

"Oh, as you can see, here I come." The big catfish called "Tahm Kench" jumped directly onto the small boat. His heavy weight even made the draft of the whole boat doubled.

"Who says the sea isn't a river? Look, countless streams converge to form the sea. Why can't I be called the 'King of the Sea'?"

"Pathetic gambler... The Hu Mother of the sea cannot protect you, and your gods have forsaken you! Only I can tolerate your greed."

"I'm here to claim your chips."

Crunch... Crunch...

The whole boat began to shake under Tam's forward steps, and the fat man hurriedly grabbed his last life-saving straw - Experiment No. 47.

“Number 47…! Save me…!”

Finally, Cheng Xiao raised her head.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, and the obsession in his mind still made him unable to let go, and at the same time he was full of irritability.

"Tahm..."

Cheng Xiao immediately recognized the big catfish in front of him and stood up - he knew very well what this terrible demon wanted to do.
