(Description: In a tavern filled with the foul stench of filth, tales of ‘Beiyehu’ circulate, telling of when countless sailboats enter that cursed rocky sea, the helmsmen are bewitched, slowly bringing the vessels closer to the cliffs.
Notorious pirates, under the leadership of ‘Beiyehu’, board the ships, piercing everyone’s hearts with icy spears and plundering all their cargo before feeding their corpses to the monsters of the deep sea.
If you wish to set sail, never forget, in addition to praying to the Sea God, to be wary of ‘Beiyehu’ as well.)
After reading the hero’s attributes, Fang Hao’s brows instantly furrowed.
It was clear that the hero before him was a Water Elemental Mage.
Being of the Sea Tribe, all her skills were related to water as well.
Especially the [Soul of the Sea Tribe], protected by the great sea, where all attributes increase by 15% in rivers and oceans.
This racial trait alone made it stronger than most other races.
But the problem was.
This was land, and there was a river outside the city.
But that river was too small, fine for washing clothes or catching a couple of fish.
It definitely wasn’t suitable for battles to occur.
Then there was the freshwater lake near Fu Lei, which now had been turned into a fish pond.
Enemies were unlikely in a freshwater lake on land, there was no need for a hero.
He did need a mage hero.
But not the kind of mage who could only show her full strength at sea.
Holding back his torrent of complaints, he continued to look at her skills.
[Wave Cut Sword] was a melee skill, which Fang Hao guessed had something to do with her four arms.
One for the magic wand, the rest could wield swords.
[Mirror Image], a skill of cloning, could create four clones with 30% of one’s own combat power.
That was a decent ability that could make a difference in battle and could also help one escape when in danger.
[Soothe] was the legendary siren’s song, capable of beguiling people. According to the game, it was a control skill.
The subsequent skills [Tsunami] and [Water Grave] were all Water Elemental Magic.
[Tsunami] had restrictions, requiring river, lake, or sea to unleash, but [Water Grave] had no such constraints. It didn’t require much water and was meant to trap and damage enemies, a combination of control and offensive skills.
[Blizzard] seemed more like an ultimate move. The previous skills featured the characteristic of wetting the enemy, and Blizzard added a state where soaked units would become frostbitten.
It was a skill that matched well with the rest.
Last was [Summon Water Elemental], a skill Fang Hao was very familiar with and didn’t need to look at further.
After studying her attributes and skills,
Fang Hao still glanced at the character description below.
And with that look, his frown deepened even more.
My goodness… what bad luck I have, to have recruited a villain.
This wasn’t his first time using a recruitment scroll, having recruited heroes from various factions before.
But previous heroes, though from different factions, didn’t have a clear distinction between good and evil.
They all fought for their countries and forces.
It was hard to label them as good or bad individuals.
But this Snake Woman was different.
She was simply a villain, a pirate… a leader who lured ships close, then looted their goods and killed all aboard.
At that moment, Fang Hao looked up to find the Snake Woman staring back at him.
In her gaze, aside from curiosity, there was a hint of malicious malevolence.
As if she was contemplating how to best deal with this person to maximize her own benefits.
“You…” Fang Hao was about to speak.
When the Snake Woman’s purple lips parted slightly, a melodious hum surged forth instantaneously.
Fang Hao’s mind went blank for a moment.
Instinctively, he started walking forward.
Being a mage himself, and with his body fortified by various potions, he was comparable to a hero in strength.
It was just a momentary lapse before he snapped back to reality.
Shocked, he realized she had dared to use a skill on him…
Looking towards her,
The Snake Woman was swaying her tail, swiftly approaching him.
Fang Hao was startled and immediately started to back away.
As the distance between the two sides grew ever closer,
a gust of wind blew by Fang Hao’s side, and Anjia’s figure leaped past him, heading straight for the Snake Woman.
The Snake Woman’s expression altered, as her body slithered on the ground like a snake, rapidly increasing the distance between them.
At the same time, she extended her hand and beckoned.
Four figures, identical to her, appeared.
To block Anjia who was in hot pursuit.
Detecting the skill released before her, Anjia also recognized it was a clone ability.
With a straight punch and a whip kick, she instantly shattered two of the clones, leaving only traces of water on the ground.
Meanwhile, the Snake Woman took the opportunity to widen the gap even further.
Gathering her Magic Power once again, four Water Elementals appeared before her.
Water bullets launched from the Water Elementals, hurtling towards Anjia.
Anjia’s body was also exceedingly nimble, she dodged while swiftly moving in on the remaining mirror images.
Another straight punch, an elbow strike, and she burst the head of another clone.
Fang Hao, observing the scene before him, also recognized the danger posed by the Snake Woman.
Pulling out his Magic Wand, he began to gather his own Magic.
The Multi-Headed Fire Python and the Flame Spider took form, launching attacks at the enemy.
At the same time, Skills like the thunder spear bombarded the opposition.
Anjia engaged in close combat, while Fang Hao bombarded the enemy with long-range fire and thunder Magic.
In an instant, they suppressed the enemy’s offensive.
But at that moment, dense footsteps surrounded them.
Demitrija, Frederick, and a host of Undead surged like a tide, closing in from all directions.

Encircling them so tightly, there was no escape.
Anjia retreated back to the rear.
“My lord, what’s going on?” Demitrija, standing before Fang Hao, inquired vigilantly.
Fang Hao glanced at the Snake Woman in front of him and said coldly, “Take her down. If she resists, execute her immediately.”
Demitrija gave a wave of his hand.
The Skeletons with heavy shields and spears formed a circular barrier, with spears pointing through the gaps of the shields towards the Snake Woman in the middle, slowly tightening the circle.
Around the perimeter, a flood of Skeleton archers had their bows drawn and aimed.
At a single command, they could ensure that the Snake Woman in the center would turn into a pile of mush.
At this point, the Snake Woman realized the severity of her situation.
Looking around at the dense Skeleton soldiers, she knew she had overplayed her hand.
She didn’t dare make any further movements.
Setting aside the few heroes, just the Skeleton soldiers currently on land could directly kill her.
Standing her ground, she loudly said, “I have no ill intentions!”
As she spoke, her body sank down slightly, resembling the height of a human kneeling.
The closing shield wall halted when the spears touched her skin.
Neither advancing further nor retreating.
And the Snake Woman, tense, found herself unable to move at all.
Fang Hao looked at the Snake Woman and said coldly, “Were you trying to kill me?”
“No, I would not dare!” the Snake Woman responded.
“No? More like you didn’t succeed!” Fang Hao’s voice grew even colder.
Lashing out with Skills from the start couldn’t possibly be seen as a friendly gesture.
Heroes summoned by a recruitment scroll aren’t bound by as strict a hero contract as signed heroes.
Therefore, Fang Hao had reason to suspect that the Snake Woman intended to kill him.
“No, I merely wanted to test your strength, not to take your life,” the Snake Woman spoke again, hastily explaining.
I believe you’re full of crap, pirate.
Fang Hao opened the Book of Lords to check the hero’s Loyalty.
“[Embrace of the Deep – Beiyehu, current Loyalty 72 points.]”
Not too high, nor too low.
Demitrija and Aseti both had quite high Loyalty when they were summoned.
The lowest before was Nelson, who also had 80 points.
But Nelson spoke politely, exuding the air of an old scholar.
Unlike this one—who from the outset released Skills and then charged in.
If it wasn’t for Anjia’s timely intervention, there was a good chance he would have been in danger.
“Do you understand your position?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
The Snake Woman, still rigid, answered, “Yes, I am one of your subordinates.”
“So, do you think it’s reasonable for a subordinate to attack their leader upon first meeting?” Fang Hao asked again.
The Snake Woman tried to speak but, at a loss for words, shut her mouth again.
Fang Hao looked at Demitrija and Frederick and asked, “What do you think we should do with her?”
The Dwarf Skeleton hero ‘Frederick,’ rubbing his now beardless chin, said, “We can kill her. Nelson can turn her corpse into a Skeleton hero, that way we can avoid any dangers.”
“That’s a good idea…” Fang Hao nodded.
Demitrija also nodded in agreement at the side.
It seemed that everyone thought this Snake Woman was difficult to control and likely to cause problems.
As the Snake Woman listened to their conversation, surrounded on all sides, she felt a tightness in her chest.
I’ll be damned, all Skeletons around and now they want to turn me into one.
Are these people demons?
