Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 476 Benefits
Ye Mo looked down at the sea. Bruce, the Holy Sea Knight, on the flagship's deck had lost his ability to fight. Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little overjoyed.

That was a fifth-tier being, a true fifth-tier powerhouse, and yet he was defeated just like that.

Although he had already killed a fifth-tier opponent back when he killed the Black Rock Sword Saint, this time was completely different. Back then, he not only prepared a trap for the opponent to walk into, but also brought more than ten fourth-tier undead with the aura of a leader, as well as a fifth-tier undead, the Golden Skeleton King.

This time, he truly relied solely on his own beast tamer power to defeat a fifth-tier being in a head-on battle.

The significance of this is self-evident.

"I never imagined I'd become this strong." Ye Mo clenched his fist, muttering to himself with some excitement. Although he knew he had officially possessed fifth-tier combat power when Hanhan mastered the Overlord-level Domain, even though he later went to fight a fifth-tier undead to verify it, it couldn't compare to the clarity and certainty of directly defeating a fifth-tier being this time.

In this battle, he didn't use any of the backup plans that Youyou had prepared, and none of the summoning arrays that were waiting to be activated were triggered. Relying solely on the combined power of his three great spirit pets, he directly defeated [Holy Sea Knight] Bruce.

"Phew—, Youyou, Hanhan, let's go down together." Ye Mo let out a long sigh and said cheerfully.

Standing in the sky, the simple-minded man, who resembled a thunder god, nodded slightly. He glanced disdainfully at the humans in the Sapphire Merchant Guild fleet with his cold gaze, then came behind Ye Mo and followed closely like a bodyguard.

In the void, Bai You, who had been hiding her figure, transformed into a shadow and emerged from Ye Mo's right shoulder. She licked her paws, her gaze cold and her expression unchanged.

On the other hand, Xing Li, sitting on Ye Mo's other shoulder, was so shocked she couldn't speak. This was the first time she had ever witnessed such a breathtaking battle. However, the performance of Hanhan, Bai Ling, and the others in this battle also stirred a longing within her.

Will she be able to become that strong in the future? Probably not.

Although her past feelings of inferiority made Xingli feel that she could not do it, the promise that Master Ye Mo had made to her was still vivid in her mind, and a longing arose in her heart.

"Believe in yourself. You will definitely be stronger than them in the future." Ye Mo saw Xing Li, who had a dazed look in her eyes, on his shoulder, reached out and touched the scales on her head, and said with a smile.

The battle just now appeared intense, with the sea churning and the heavens and earth changing dramatically, but in reality, it was still only within the fifth tier. As for his expectations of Xing Li, he felt she should at least be at the legendary level; otherwise, he wouldn't feel worthy of becoming a Beastmaster.

"Hiss~" (Mmm)

Xingli nuzzled Ye Mo's fingertips with her head, a hint of emotion and determination flickering in her star-like eyes. No matter what the future held, since her Master believed in her, she was determined to work hard and live up to his expectations.

After a while.

The Winged White Tiger, Bai Ling, and the Diamond Dragon, Isaac, had surrounded the entire Sapphire Fleet. Under their cold gazes, not a single person dared to escape.

At this moment, lightning flashed everywhere, like the wrath of a god, and the idiot with the [Heavenly Thunder] domain descended from the sky, arriving directly in front of the Sapphire Merchant Guild's flagship. Its powerful majesty caused all the survivors on the ship to tremble, daring not to utter a sound.

At this moment, at the Pirate Bay docks, after witnessing this earth-shattering battle, ordinary pirates, powerful pirates, and even pirate overlords were all excited.

The fact that their pirate king, whom they had submitted to and followed, had actually defeated a fifth-tier Saint-level expert who was famous throughout the countries was truly shocking and exciting to them.

It's important to understand that the strength of a pirate lord often determines their standing in the eyes of other powers. Previously, this very strength had led to them being harassed by various factions, resulting in injuries and even deaths among many of their pirate companions.

Now, if the pirate king they follow spreads the news of today's achievements, they will be able to hold their heads high and face other powerful nobles and forces with pride.

"Cough cough." On the shattered deck of the flagship, Bruce, the Holy Sea Knight, who was kneeling on one knee, barely raised his head. His bloodshot eyes looked up at the sky ahead, where a black-robed man holding a mask was quietly watching him from the side of the purple giant bear monster.

"Blood Moon Pirate King, I admit defeat today. I hope you can let me redeem my life, cough cough."

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Bruce, the Holy Sea Knight, forced a fawning smile onto his chubby face. "You are probably aware of the wealth of the Sapphire Merchant Guild. As the guild's president, I can get you anything you want."

After saying that, he activated a spatial ring in his hand, and with a slight flash of silver light, one precious resource and equipment after another fell down.

The game includes a fourth-tier holy-grade magic scroll, fifth-tier magic equipment, fifth-tier water, fire, and even lightning resources, and even two fifth-tier magic crystals, which are extremely rare on the Light Spirit Continent.

"These are just the treasures and resources I carry with me, nothing compared to my true wealth. If you, Pirate King, are willing to spare my life, I can certainly give you much more."

Not far away, Ye Mo, who was standing next to Hanhan, remained unmoved upon hearing these words. The treasures and resources that the other party had taken out were of decent value, barely reaching the value of ten billion copper coins, which was equivalent to about ten billion Yanhuang coins.

But the resources the other party offered now belonged to him; they were his spoils of war, so they had no intention of being used as ransom.

As for the compensation the other party promised afterward, not only was it troublesome, but it also contradicted his purpose in coming here.

It's important to understand that the reason he wanted to kill this "Holy Sea Knight" was not only because the other party had provoked the Pirate Bay and caused it numerous losses, but also because he wanted to make an example of him.

The Sapphire Merchant Guild was not the only force eyeing Pirate Bay. After all, Pirate Bay's sphere of influence was simply too advantageous, not only being close to the headquarters of the Pirate Merchant Guild but also cutting off most of the shipping routes from the mainland to the Emerald Island territory.

Therefore, in order to drive away those vicious dogs from Pirate Bay, we need to give them a big one, and the head of the Holy Sea Knight is just right.

However, if the other party were truly willing to submit, the value of that fifth-tier subordinate, combined with the profits of the entire Sapphire Merchant Guild, would be enormous. Thinking this, Ye Mo looked at the kneeling figure before him, his gaze becoming subtle.

At this moment, Bruce, the [Holy Sea Knight], who had been waiting for a long time without receiving an answer, felt his heart sink like a lead weight.

As a powerful expert who has broken through to the fifth rank, even though he has been famous for decades, he has not yet lived half his life. He does not want to die so soon; he has not enjoyed life enough yet.

Looking back on his hard work and countless life-risking adventures since childhood, he realized that he had finally become a Saint-level powerhouse, established the Sapphire Merchant Guild, and gained such a status and position.

"I can't die like this!" After making up his mind, Bruce, the "Holy Sea Knight," looked up again, about to reveal the treasures in his merchant guild, the rare information he had obtained, and all the valuable conditions he could obtain, when the Blood Moon Pirate King in front of him suddenly spoke up.

“Holy Sea Knight, right? You know now that your life or death is in my hands. The conditions you mentioned before seemed good, but they mean nothing to me.”

"Pirate King, besides these treasures and resources, I also have..."

"No need to say more. They are just some treasures and resources. How much of them are truly useful to beings like you and me?"

"Wait! Besides resources and treasures, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I also know a lot of secret information, such as the information on the inheritance of the Duke Bernard family, the relevant information on several inheritance sites, and... and the secrets of the Pioneer Chamber of Commerce. I know all of these and I can tell you everything."

"The Pioneer Chamber of Commerce?" Ye Mo raised an eyebrow, not expecting to stumble upon his own family's gossip.

Upon seeing Ye Mo's interest, Bruce, the [Holy Sea Knight], brightened up and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right. As the most famous merchant guild in recent months, the Pioneer Merchant Guild has naturally sent countless people to investigate, thus obtaining a lot of useful information."

"The Pioneer Chamber of Commerce is backed by that Saint-level necromancer. What secrets do you think you can find out from him?" Ye Mo asked dismissively.

He wasn't wrong. Given the level of secrecy he maintained regarding the Pioneer Chamber of Commerce, even a fifth-tier expert skilled in stealth wouldn't be able to find out anything.

After all, the core members of the Pioneer Merchant Guild were all his loyal subordinates with whom he had signed trading contracts, and there was no way they would betray him. Moreover, the biggest secret of the Pioneer Merchant Guild was the circulation of goods between the two worlds. To circulate these goods, one needed to go through a dimensional teleportation array, and the location of this dimensional teleportation array was in the core area of ​​the Abyss of the Dead. Even if a fifth-tier True Immortal was lucky enough to be teleported there, he probably wouldn't survive to escape the Abyss of the Dead.

Therefore, Ye Mo highly approves of and trusts the confidentiality of the Chamber of Commerce.

Thinking of this, Ye Mo warned the other party again, "Don't even think about lying to me, otherwise if I find out, you won't have any chance of surviving."

On the other side, Bruce, the [Holy Sea Knight], pondered these words. He had indeed sent many people to investigate the Pioneer Merchant Guild, but the information he obtained was mostly superficial. He only knew that the other party was not simple, so he could only make things up when he wanted to talk about the Pioneer Merchant Guild.

But in his opinion, the Blood Moon Pirate King knew far more about the Pioneer Guild and the fifth-tier necromancer behind it than he did. If he were to make it up, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

You can't gamble like that; the chances of losing are just too high.

After pondering for a moment, Bruce, the Holy Sea Knight, bit his lip, looked up and said seriously, "Pirate King, I don't know much about the secrets of the Pioneer Merchant Guild, but I know a lot about the other forces that covet it."

"As you know, the auctions held by the Pioneer Chamber of Commerce nowadays feature a large number of fifth-tier magic crystals. Such quantities would be coveted not only by me, but also by Saint-level experts from other countries."

"Therefore, before I came to Crescent Island, the headquarters of the Pioneer Chamber of Commerce, I sent people to investigate and learn about many other forces. Although none of those forces were as powerful as the royal families of the various kingdoms, there were three or four that were about as strong as me."

"If my information is correct, those companies have secretly begun to discuss a joint attack on the Pioneer Merchants Association, just waiting for the right opportunity. I am the same. This time, I was planning to go back and bring together the powerful figures from the Duchy of Bernard to attack the Pioneer Merchants Association in advance. Otherwise, if others get there first, we won't even get a share of the spoils."

Hearing these words, Ye Mo nodded inwardly. Although he knew that the Pioneer Chamber of Commerce's recent prominence would definitely attract the covetousness of other forces, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.

However, judging from what the other party said, even if they could send out several fifth-tier experts at once, he wasn't too afraid. Relying on the mysterious array, even if they couldn't win in a direct confrontation, the key members of the merchant guild could still escape without much trouble. At most, they would only lose some territory and buildings, and once the other party couldn't find them, they would have no choice but to give up.

After all, a living fifth-tier being is a huge threat to any faction. The more powerful and influential the opposing force, the less likely they are to act recklessly, unless they are absolutely certain of killing a fifth-tier necromancer.

"Alright, looking at it this way, you do have some value, but that alone is far from enough to save your life."

Upon hearing this, Bruce, the Holy Sea Knight, turned deathly pale, and despair welled up in his eyes.

But at that moment, Ye Mo continued, "However, I'm still willing to give you a chance. If you can do it, then letting you live won't be a problem."

“Thank you, Pirate King. Whatever you ask of me, I will do it.” [Holy Sea Knight] Bruce suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with a twisted ecstasy mixed with humiliation. His thick fingers dug into the cracks in the deck, his knuckles turning white from the force: “Just name your price, and I can transfer the entire Sapphire Merchant Guild to you, and…”

"Heh." Ye Mo chuckled lightly, interrupting the other party, and said calmly, "What I need you to do is very simple, that is to submit to me."

"Hmm?" Bruce, the Holy Sea Knight, paused. He wasn't surprised by the other party's conditions, but as a fifth-tier Saint-level expert, even if he was willing to submit, the other party would never believe him.

Ye Mo saw the doubt in Bruce's eyes, shook his head and smiled, then stretched out his hand towards the sky. The next moment, white light condensed, and a transaction contract took shape from the white light.

"Verbal surrender is something neither you nor I would believe, but this contract is different. Once you sign it, you'll be mine, and I'll spare your life."
