Chapter 25 Conflict

The *tzigane* woman with the black headscarf who had been pushed looked quite displeased. She immediately let out a shrill laugh and looked at Kanbi with her eyes. The ferocious expression on Kanbi's face actually melted away at this moment, then became dazed and at a loss. The woman's voice was originally cold and sharp, but it became sweet and soft:

"You will give it to me, won't you? After giving me this thing, you will feel your right hand is very heavy, very heavy, so heavy that you cannot bear it, so you will find an axe and chop off this useless hand..."

"Hypnotism?!" Fang Senyan and the others immediately thought of this word! And this middle-aged woman with the black headscarf was also very vicious. Kanbi pushed her with his right hand, and she actually wanted to hypnotize Kanbi to chop off his right hand?

Seeing that Kanbi had really fallen for it and was handing over the small black cloth bag, Reef stepped forward to stop him. But the middle-aged woman with the black headscarf suddenly took out a stack of things from her bosom. With a flick of her fingers, a very thin and sharp thing flew over at high speed. Reef snorted coldly and grabbed it, and blood immediately flowed from between his fingers. It turned out to be a playing card, the three of clubs!

Being able to injure Reef, the sharpness of the edge of this playing card was probably no less than that of an ordinary blade.

No wonder ordinary pirates didn't dare to trade with these *tzigane*. Just looking at a woman casually coming out, who knew mental hypnotism and this remote attack method of throwing playing cards, her strength was enough to shock people.

But for Reef, such an injury was only a flesh wound. He continued to step forward. The middle-aged woman with the black headscarf's face changed, and then she flicked her fingers again and again. This time, a full three playing cards flew and whistled over, cutting Reef's throat, chest, and arms, even deeply embedded in his flesh!

For ordinary people, this would be a fatal injury, but amidst the spurting blood, Reef punched out as if nothing had happened, hitting the woman's face squarely, sending her flying two or three meters. When this woman crawled up from the ground in a disheveled manner, there were already several puddles of ocher soaking on the black veil on her face. Obviously, either her nose was bleeding profusely, or she was seriously injured and vomiting blood.

"Although I never take the initiative to attack women, that absolutely doesn't mean you can take advantage of my mercy!"

After this woman was knocked away, Kanbi's hypnotized state was immediately解除 (jiechu - removed), and he looked at his hands with a somewhat blank expression. But then he hugged his head, lộ (lu - revealing) a painful expression, and made intermittent sounds, which should have been caused by severe pain in the nerves after being hypnotized.

Reef then casually tore off the playing cards stuck on the surface of his body and threw them on the ground. Fang Senyan's eyes also stayed on the three blood-stained playing cards that fell on the ground for a while, recognizing the card faces as the four, six, and seven of clubs respectively. His eyes revealed a thoughtful expression, and then he said to Mogansha:

"You take Kanbi away from here first. Reef and I have high stamina and high resistance to abnormal states. It won't be easy for them to hypnotize the two of us. Of course, more importantly, lurking in the darkness will give me more sense of security."

Brother Hei nodded, lộ (lu - revealing) a smile with a mouth full of white teeth, and left with Kanbi. At this time, Reef and Fang Senyan attracted most of the surrounding attention, and their departure didn't seem to cause any waves.

At this time, the *tzigane* woman with the black headscarf had already gotten up from the ground, casting a resentful glance, and trotted inside. Soon, five or six women walked out from the big tent inside.

Fang Senyan noticed that the woman walking in the middle was wrapped in a headscarf of three colors: red, yellow, and green. Her veil was pure white, and she had a red dot between her eyebrows, which looked a bit like a cinnabar mole. She was holding a crystal ball in her hand, which was a deep crimson purple. It was strangely illusory, and it seemed that another world was being generated in it in an instant. It was so magical.

In addition, most of the other women around her were wearing red or white headscarves, and the color of the veils was the same. But even if there were people holding crystal balls, whether in terms of volume or quality, they were far inferior to the crystal ball of the woman in the middle.

A woman with a white headscarf walking in the front looked at Reef and said coldly:

"Outsiders, you dare to attack the sacred astrologer? Then be prepared to accept Luzna's punishment."

Reef snorted coldly and said:

"It was your old woman who attacked me first."

The woman with the white headscarf was obviously very angry. With a flip of her wrist, another stack of playing cards appeared in her palm. But at this moment, Fang Senyan suddenly said:

"Wait a minute."

What was surprising was that the woman with the flower headscarf and the white veil also spoke out immediately:

"Wait a minute."

The reason why this group of *tzigane* fortune-tellers cooperated so well was that Fang Senyan stood quietly in place and stretched out his right hand. Between the index finger and thumb of his right hand, he was holding a seed that was cyan-black and gleaming with metallic luster. As long as Fang Senyan used a little force, it was conceivable that this thing would "pop" and the juice would splash everywhere, completely shattering.

"Very good." Fang Senyan smiled and said, "I finally have a chance to speak. But don't worry, I'm not a啰嗦 (luō suō - long-winded) person."

"First of all, I want to ask you to appraise this unknown seed. It seems you really recognize this thing."

"Secondly, I don't mind selling it, provided that it is at a price that satisfies me."

"Finally, I am a petty person. If I encounter unpleasant things like being attacked, then I will express my dissatisfaction by raising the price. Listen carefully, every time you attack us, I will double the selling price."

Speaking of this, Fang Senyan paused and said with a smile and seriously:

"The bottom price for the seed is: ten thousand gold pounds. So,"

Fang Senyan turned his face to the middle-aged woman with the black headscarf who had just been attacked by Reef:

"Your shot just now made me very unhappy, so my asking price has doubled to twenty thousand gold pounds. Your failed attack is worth ten thousand gold pounds. So if there is a next attack, you have to think clearly. If you can't kill me, then you have to pay forty thousand gold pounds to buy it."

At this time, the white-veiled woman Luzna sneered:

"I have walked from the sunrise to the sunset, and I have never seen such an ignorant and arrogant idiot like you."

As soon as she finished speaking, two high-speed spinning playing cards flew out from Luzna's palm. Different from before, these two playing cards made a very shrill sound while spinning, which was soul-stirring.

The trajectory of these two cards in the air was already very飘渺 (piāomiǎo - elusive), and they suddenly collided, and then flew back and cut from both sides. Reef was caught off guard for a moment, and two long wounds were cut on his back, and blood flowed freely. What was even more bizarre was that after hurting Reef, they continued to soar and fly back in the air as if they had spirituality, and they would continue to cut in the next second!

At this moment, Reef clenched his right fist, blessed himself with the armor of faith, and then rushed straight towards Luzna with his head buried. It's just that for some reason, in Fang Senyan's eyes, Reef's forward speed was extremely slow, completely like he was原地踏步 (yuándìtàbù - treading in place).

Obviously, unknowingly, Reef had been affected by the illusion, so that the brain's sense of distance had a strong imbalance.

"Hmm? Illusion?" A sneer appeared on the corner of Fang Senyan and Reef's mouths almost at the same time. Since the battle with Lier and Yuze, the Ace team had painfully reflected and discussed countless times how to deal with illusions when encountering them again. And several solutions were listed.

And Reef chose the simplest and most direct one among those solutions!

He took a deep breath, as if his chest was bulging, and then suddenly let out a狂叫 (kuángjiào - frenzied cry) towards the sky!

"Tearing Heart and Lung!!!"

At this time, the range of Reef's Tearing Heart and Lung was quite far, and Luzna was already within the attack range of this skill. Although she was on the periphery, she was immediately injured, her face turned pale, and she took a few steps back. This time, the illusion was broken.

Reef immediately rushed forward, and it was also for the sake of completing the main quest, so he didn't use the lightsaber, but swept horizontally with a shield, heavily hitting Luzna's face. Then he followed up with a kick, kicking the woman to let out a shrill scream, and then turned into a rolling gourd,縮 (suō - shrinking) on the ground, panting for a long time before缓 (huǎn - recovering).

Fang Senyan didn't even raise his eyelids, and said lightly:

"Next, by the way, I'll mention it. At this time, the seed has risen to forty thousand gold pounds. If you dare to make another move, then it will be eighty thousand gold pounds."

Luzna suddenly狂叫 (kuángjiào - screamed) like a shrew:

"Everyone, go together! They are only two people at most, I don't believe... You idiot!!!!!!"

With a light "pop"! Fang Senyan actually directly crushed the seed clamped between his fingers, and green liquid splashed everywhere. He indifferently flicked the liquid on his fingers. Then looking at the *tzigane* female fortune-tellers around him, who were almost shaking with anger, he said with great satisfaction:

"I forgot to say one thing, group fights are strictly prohibited, only one-on-one duels are allowed."

Saying that, Fang Senyan took out another seed, and very calmly捏 (niē - pinched) it between his index finger and thumb, and said lightly:

"Perhaps you still think I look like a person who speaks casually, you can continue to challenge my credibility?"
