"Sea giants? There are currently nine major tribes of sea giants near the coast of the Eastern Region..."
The merpeople who were rescued from the armored ogre by Jiang Li have been living a relatively comfortable life recently.
Living under the Mechanical City, as long as you are responsible for driving away the incoming sea beasts, you can enjoy the best resource treatment.
There is no need for direct combat, as more than twenty translucent mermaid eggs have recently been added.
With their assistance, the Machinery City has been in very good condition recently.
Without those controlled sea beasts, the pressure they are under now is less than one tenth of what it was before.
Every time there is an attack, only one-third of the manpower is needed to remain on alert. Relying on the mechanisms set up in the sea and the King Sea driftwood forest created by Jiang Li, it is enough to deal with it.
From time to time, you can also kill some ogres to accumulate merits.
The crisis of Wantumen has been temporarily resolved, and Chongshanmeng has entered a good period of stable development.
Namur, the merman prince who ate the Nine Netherworld Fruit, has already become one of Jiang Li's most trusted friends.
Hearing Jiang Li's question, he immediately told him the general situation of the sea creatures near the coast of the Eastern Region without reservation.
Since losing their king, the sea giant clan in the East China Sea of Cangyun Continent has split into nine large tribes, led by the nine descendants of the original king.
No matter which branch of the giants, they are all guys with bad tempers.
The nine tribes are of similar strength and none of them have ever submitted to the other, making it impossible to achieve true unification.
Fortunately, they still had a great vengeance to take, so they were smart enough to start fighting among themselves.
Several of these tribes were nearby, and Muir could find them himself.
The difference in strength is not big, which means that no giant has truly broken through to the Earth Immortal level.
If we can't stop Gu Heitianchou, everything will be meaningless.
Jiang Li hesitated a little, but still let Namur go out to sea to visit the nine sea giant tribes.
Known as the royal family of the sea and once the darlings of the dragon clan, the mermaids have good relations with everyone in the sea.
Although the Murr tribe is not large, it can still have a say among the nine sea giant tribes.
If there were strong support from the outside, Jiang Li would have many more options.
. . . .
Over on Hualong Island, the big guy who called himself Guhei Daniu tried to get Jiang Li and Guhei Jianmo to join him and form some kind of illegitimate alliance.
He had already persuaded the twins long before, and the younger sister let Gu Hei Daniu do whatever he wanted in front of others and did not dare to resist.
If Jiang Li didn't exist, Jian Mo might have given in, but now...
With one slap, the ancient black bull flew back to his room, half of his cheek swollen like a pig's head, and he would not wake up in a short time.
The pirates on the island have bad tempers, and Jiang Li is not someone who can be easily messed with.
Letting Jian Mo go back to her room to rest, Jiang Li wandered around Hualong Island, an island covered with gold.
There are at least eight hundred dragon chief descendants who have come to Hualong Island over the years, but only two of them have finally become young masters.
This shows how low the success rate of passing the trial is.
He wanted to get some useful information in advance.
He walked into a noisy pub and as soon as he opened the door, more than twenty pairs of malicious eyes fell on him.
Because he was a stranger, the owners of these glances were assessing his value and danger.
If he is a weak fat sheep, a group of sharks will rush up and tear him to pieces the next moment.
Jiang Li's calm eyes swept across the eyes that were peeping at him, and muffled groans sounded in the tavern.
Several people suddenly fell to the ground without any warning, bleeding from all their orifices.
It was when they looked at each other that the chaotic will of the Asura world hidden deep in his eyes severely damaged the spirits of these guys.
After showing his strength, the omnipresent malevolence indeed faded a lot.
"Hey, strange boy, what are you doing?!"
Jiang Li walked straight to the third window seat on the right side of the tavern. At that table, four pirates were drinking smelly sea fish wine in big gulps.
Seeing Jiang Li standing in front of them, he immediately drew out his scimitar and asked dissatisfiedly.
"You took my seat."
The four pirates immediately became furious, and then Jiang Li grabbed them by the neck and threw them out of the tavern one by one.
The noisy pub fell silent for a moment.
Until a bearded man walked out from behind the counter, carrying a plate of sea beast meat and a bottle of scarlet drinking water and placed them in front of Jiang Li.
The pub became noisy again.
When he tore open the sea beast's meat, he found a small jade slip inside, which contained what Shashawei had given him.
During these days, Shashawei had asked the two young masters indirectly, but had not obtained any useful information.
However, she has already reached a cooperative relationship with one of them and the progress is good.
After reading the information inside, Jiang Li crushed the jade slip into powder and then enjoyed the dragon blood liquor from Hualong Island.
Outside the tavern, the four pirates who were thrown out by Jiang Li did not leave. Instead, they stayed in a dark corner not far from the tavern, waiting for Jiang Li to come out so that they could rush up and take revenge.
But in the darkness, several sharp blades emerged and directly cut their necks.
Then someone quickly searched the corpse and soon found a small storage magic weapon.
The figure disappeared, and a moment later the storage magic weapon appeared in front of the captain of the second fleet, Shashawi.
In the territory of such a powerful force, directly using communication spirit stones to plot is basically tantamount to seeking death.
So this was the way of communication he and Shashawi agreed upon.
As long as Jiang Li sits in a specific seat in the tavern, the news will reach him.
When he threw the four pirates out, you put a small thing on them.
After looking at the things inside, Shashawei immediately understood what Jiang Li meant.
He personally showed up and inserted a small flag at the key node of the Hualong Island formation.
. . . .
After a bad night, the four illegitimate children and their followers were taken to a remote dock.
Then a group of people waited, staring at each other, enjoying the sea breeze until the sun was high in the sky.
Obviously, that Zhuohou young master didn't take them seriously at all.
"Damn it! What a lousy place! How dare they treat Big Brother Daniu like this!"
"If it were up to me, we should just run to the palace and find your father, big brother."
"I think that guy called Zhuohou did it on purpose. He is afraid that my eldest brother will become the young master and steal his limelight."
Jiang Li didn't kill him yesterday, and after lying down all night, Gu Hei Daniu woke up slowly. Half of his face was wrapped in bandages, and he was still a little conscious.
But one slap wasn't enough to keep him quiet.
After learning from the twin brother and sister that it was Jiang Li who knocked him out, the expression "I want revenge" was written all over their faces.
Moreover, his followers actually dared to speak nonsense in this place.
This big guy named Guhei Daniu has never been a good person since he was a child.
After learning about his life experience, he did not feel inferior at all. Instead, he was proud of it and began to abuse his power by using this surname.
It just so happened that his adoptive father was a cowardly guy, and due to the threat from Hualong Island, others did not dare to really fight him.
If he were killed, no one would be able to withstand the wrath of Hualong Island.
As a result, this guy angered his adoptive father to death when he was twelve years old, and started bullying boys and girls in the village when he was thirteen years old.
At the age of nineteen, he joined a group of ruffians and went out to sea as a group of vicious pirates.
Later, he didn't know where he got the inheritance from, and started the path of cultivating immortals and practicing Qi.
This guy was quite smart. After making inquiries from many sources, he found out that the survival rate of illegitimate children on Hualong Island was extremely low.
He was afraid of death, so he had not come to the door for decades. He just used the banner of the young master of Hualong Island to cause trouble.
Many small sects want to wipe it out.
But unfortunately, this guy is really the son of the Dragon Chief of Hualong Island. Even if they had the courage, they would not dare to take action.
He is just a third-rate and lousy cultivator, but he is able to thrive in this field.
Until a while ago, due to Gu Hei Daniu's relatively low cultural level, he encountered problems when breaking through the Xu Dan.

With no other options, they came to Hualong Island to seek help.
However, the pirates under his command have always been arrogant and have no control over their mouths.
It’s a pity that I chose the wrong place this time.
As the pirate was speaking, he felt an itch on his neck.
He reached out and scratched it, and a line of blood appeared on his neck.
Then the more he scratched, the bigger the blood line became, until his entire head slipped off his neck, and he didn't know how he died.
Blood spurted high from the headless neck.
Jiang Li was the only one present who saw any traces.
Jiang Li suddenly stretched his hand forward, and his thumb and index finger seemed to be pinching something.
Buzz~ A trembling sound was heard in the air, and something was pulled straight by a huge force.
Only under the refraction of light can one barely see an extremely thin silk thread.
When wrestling with Jiang Li, the opponent's figure naturally could no longer be hidden.
After a moment of stalemate, Jiang Li finally released his fingers.
"What a sharp dragon whisker line! The young master of Hualong Island is really good at this."
Jiang Li looked at a large rock in the distance. A young monk with fine scales on both sides of his cheeks was standing there.
Jiang Li, who had studied the intelligence, knew that it was the ancient black and thick.
Just now, this guy heard someone saying bad things about him, so he killed the clown.
Then he discovered that there was a powerful aura present.
He didn't care about anything and swung the dragon whisker line and paddled towards Jiang Li.
Try to test whether Jiang Li will be killed by this move.
But he didn't expect that Jiang Li could accept his temptation so easily.
"This sister is so lucky to have such a strong follower."
"But the higher your cultivation level, the faster you will die."
Gu Heizhuohou stared at Jiang Li, trying to see something from him.
But in the end, nothing was found, only a cruel and meaningless remark was left.
"Come with me. As long as you survive, all your requests will be no problem."
Gu Heizhuohou summoned a precious water-avoiding beast and motioned for everyone to go up.
The water-avoiding beast had strange light flowing on its body and an attractive aura. It was born with the ability to avoid water, which was the bloodline of the ancient mythical beast, the Water-avoiding Lion.
The fact that this spiritual beast can be used as a mount shows the profoundness of Hualong Island.
Several people rode on the spirit beasts and the water-avoiding beasts and flew in the air, heading towards a sea area that Jiang Li had already marked on the map.
The water-avoiding beast was moving very fast, and soon there were obvious changes in the water below.
Looking down from above, the water surface appeared colorful.
That's because beneath the water, there is a coral jungle that has been growing for tens of thousands of years.
The sunlight shines through the water onto the corals and then reflects off the water, creating this amazing sight.
In this coral jungle lives the most abundant dragon blood creature known to date.
They are also the most important foundation of Hualong Island.
The height of the water-avoiding beast continued to descend, and as it approached the water surface, the sea water below automatically separated to both sides, forming a wide underwater tunnel.
Riding it, you can feel like walking on flat ground even if you encounter turbulent seabed.
They could clearly see the huge sea monster lurking not far away.
The sea beasts looked at them with red eyes, but seemed to be afraid of something and did not dare to attack directly.
Pass through the colorful and blue coral jungle.
A huge bubble appeared ahead.
A token flew out from the ancient, dark and thick hand and landed on the bubble, causing ripples to appear immediately.
Then, for some reason, he took out two top-grade spirit stones, threw one into the water-avoiding beast's mouth, and held the other in his own palm.
The water-avoiding beast then accelerated and crashed into the ripples. With a sound of ripples, they seemed to be in another world.
Jiang Li felt like a fish that was suddenly pulled out of the cold water and thrown directly into the scorching desert at noon.
The air around me seemed to be lacking something that I depended on for survival.
He quickly realized that it was spiritual energy! If you throw a fish into the desert, it will be dried up quickly and lose all its moisture.
If the monks are thrown here, the spiritual energy they depend on for survival will be lost quickly. When the spiritual energy is completely lost, they will die.
This underwater island is completely different from the environment of a normal secret realm.
This legendary territory of Hualong Island not only lacks a rich spiritual environment, but is extremely barren.
It was so barren that even Jiang Li couldn't stop his own spiritual energy from leaking out.
His face changed slightly, and then he understood why Gu Heizhuohou wanted to hold a top-grade spirit stone in his hand.
This is also the reason why Gu Heizhuohou said before that the stronger the cultivation, the faster one will die.
Among them, Jiang Li and Gu Heizhuohou were the most affected, while those who were still mortal descendants seemed to be unaffected at all.
Fortunately, Jiang Li is essentially just a golden elixir. Although his spiritual energy, quality and quantity are far beyond those of cultivators of the same level, the speed of spiritual energy leakage has also become much faster.
But generally speaking, it is about the same speed as the loss caused by the ancient black and thick liquid.
The speed of this leakage is far slower than the speed at which the spiritual energy flows into his body. Apart from greatly weakening the power of his spells, it will not have much impact on him.
Looking at the spiritual energy emanating from Jiang Li, Gu Heizhuhou also believed that he had judged Jiang Li's level of strength.
There was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Your trial is to walk from here to the center of this island... Hmm?"
The young master of Hualong Island was just about to explain the content of the trial to them when fluctuations appeared in the bubbles behind him.
Then, before they could turn around, an arc-shaped water blade hit them from behind.
Oh my god, I almost missed it, so I posted it first and then revised the last part (end of this chapter)
