Chapter 974: Old Wu is still awesome!

Like, what was there on the Good Luck that he had to find?

Although Knicks's resolute goal of finding the Good Luck was consistent with his, he had to give a word of caution.

"Captain, this sea beast is called the Thousand Miles One Zhang Thorn. It's a rare large sea beast that lives in groups. If we continue forward, it might be dangerous..."

The Good Luck was basically killed nearby, so he let the Hope go back, and he and Jiang Lianzhu rode on the golden eagle to look for it, which would be much less dangerous.

When Liao Jiu said this, everyone panicked.

One sea monster is enough to scare people to death, if there are a few more, I can’t even imagine it!

Nix frowned. "Stop talking nonsense! You're exaggerating! Large sea beasts like this can't live in groups! They all have a sense of territory. If this sea beast is in this area, there won't be any other sea beasts within a radius of at least hundreds of kilometers. This area is safe for the time being. You can continue searching! If you don't want to go with the ship, just row your own boat and don't try to shake people's spirits on the Hope!"

If Liao Jiu had not made great efforts and provided great help in the fight against the sea beasts, Knicks would not have been so polite.

It is possible that Chou Nu could capture him directly.

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything. I just said there is such a possibility." Liao Jiu didn't want to be kicked off the boat.

He just reminded the Knicks to pay attention.

The lives of everyone on the ship are in his hands.

If he knew the truth but didn't tell anyone, that's his problem. If he told someone and the Knicks didn't listen, that's the Knicks' problem.

Jiang Lianzhu also said that this kind of sea beast lives in groups, but the barrier is damaged and there are holes, so it is not certain that a group will jump out. Perhaps only this one will jump out.

Knicks insisted on moving forward, and even if everyone had opinions, he wouldn't listen, so they all dispersed.

Recover from your injuries and heal your spirit.

Everyone left and went about their business, and the Hope started up and started moving again.

Finally, Liao Jiu was asked to stay and asked some more questions about sea beasts.

"Do you really know this sea beast? Have you seen it before or something?"

"I am from Da'an, and I heard my teacher Tan Tao describe it..."

Nix's expression became more serious. "Is it Tan Tao from Tianya Academy?"

"yes."

Knicks didn't say anything and just let Liao Jiu go down.

After Liao Jiu left, an old woman with a hunchback came out from the darkness.

Her voice was old and a little cold. "Do you believe what he said?"

"If his teacher is really Tan Tao, then his words must be true. It's possible that such a large sea beast really exists. Tan Tao is a leading figure in the Confucian school, knowledgeable and well-informed. He is one of the most learned men in Zhongyuan Continent. Others may not have seen it, but Tan Tao may have! You should have heard of his name."

The hunchbacked old woman scowled. "We can't wait! If a few more sea monsters show up, we'll be gone forever. The shipping company wants us to find the Good Luck at the lowest possible cost."

"The Good Luck should be near this sea area, Old Wu, what do you think now? It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Otherwise, let's start asking the Sea God after dark!" Knyx spoke to her, without a commanding tone this time.

It was discussed.

The hunchbacked old woman hummed, "Yes! I think so too! We must find the Good Luck! I'll ask Poseidon tonight!"

Then she continued, "Now there is a problem. The Sea God needs forty boys and girls. Originally, we prepared exactly one, but now a little girl was washed into the sea and died, so we are one short."

Nix frowned. "It's only one short. Aren't there still thirty-nine?"

The hunchbacked old woman snorted coldly, "We can't miss even one of them when offering sacrifices to the Sea God. That would be disrespectful to the Sea God. If the Sea God is unhappy, will he tell us the whereabouts of the Good Luck?"

"What should we do? Go back to shore and find another one?"

The hunchbacked old woman replied, "There's no need to go to all that trouble! Didn't this man called Ajiu and his family of three get on the boat? He has a daughter named Nanbao, who's also six years old. It should be okay to use her as a substitute."

Nix was stunned. "I'm afraid it's not going to be easy. This Seventh Realm warrior named Jiu is very powerful. I think he should have reached the Great Perfection of the Seventh Realm and could enter the Eighth Realm at any time. A warrior of the Eighth Realm is not someone to be trifled with... Isn't this just adding to the problem?"

The hunchbacked old woman said disdainfully, "Even your ugly slave can't handle him?"

"It's hard to say." Nix said truthfully.

The hunchbacked old woman is the person in charge sent by the Putian Shipping Company. On the surface, the entire ship listens to him, but in fact, it is the hunchbacked old woman who listens to them.

The tampering on the two boats was done by the hunchbacked old woman.

Knicks originally had no intention of harming the lives of the people on those two ships.

Later, a sea monster was attracted and the boat capsized. Only then did he see that the two boats had been tampered with.

Now they are planning to target the little girl in this family of three, and he doesn't want to get involved.

He was a man who did things for money. If they found the Good Luck and the gold and jewelry on it, he would get 20% of the commission in addition to the agreed-upon reward.

For money, he is willing to do anything, but he doesn't want to take the initiative to get involved in the lives of innocent people if he can avoid it.

What's more, he always felt that the little girl's mother had a calm and indifferent temperament that was not what an ordinary woman should have. He knew countless people and sometimes subconsciously sought good fortune and avoided danger, which allowed him to avoid countless potential dangers and live to this day.

He didn't particularly want to mess with this couple anyway.

Otherwise, he would have turned a blind eye to the fact that Zhu Niang had come up to the cabin on deck to talk with Ah Jiu as a couple several times.

The hunchbacked old woman saw through his thoughts and said, "I didn't expect that the pirates who used to roam the seas would now be more careful about their reputation. It's okay if you don't want to do anything. I will do it."

Nix ignored her previous words, "Old Wu is still amazing! His magical powers are immense!"
