Chapter 251
When the worm-like object emitting blue fluorescence was pulled out, the sea monster let out a last weak groan, and then its huge body began to shrink rapidly.
In almost the blink of an eye, the sea monster turned back into Li Zhentian's appearance.
He vomited blood, closed his eyes and fell into the sea, and was soon swallowed by the waves.
Tang Yu'an finally rushed over.
"Brother Xiaoqi, stop! It's not safe here!"
However, he was still some distance away from Zhou Qi, and there was no time to stop him, or rather, he couldn't stop him.
Because the mask was tightly attached to his face, he might have lost his mind and was unable to take it off, so he couldn't swallow the spirit insect into his mouth. However...
He clenched his fist and gripped the water spirit insect tightly.
Tang Yu'an clearly saw a strange blue light emanating from his fist. As he watched, the blue light entered Zhou Qi's palm and went along his arm all the way to his heart.
Zhou Qi, who was flying in the air, suddenly began to fall.
"Get up, brother!"
Tang Yu'an shouted and flew towards him quickly, and the two of them fell into the sea one after the other.
The power of the sea is much more powerful than the flood in the deserted city.
After falling into the sea, Tang Yu'an suddenly felt as if he had gone to another dimension. Everything around him was so huge and he felt so small.
But he had no time to dwell on this fear.
He must find Zhou Qi as soon as possible, and cannot let him be carried away by the current or swallowed by the sea!
Tang Yu'an took out the underwater breathing potion from his personal storage, stuffed it into his mouth and bit it before his oxygen ran out.
As he took the medicine, the feeling of suffocation left him, and he quickly pulled up the map to find Zhou Qi's location.
Fortunately, they were not far away. Tang Yu'an mobilized his spiritual energy, allowing the thin wind energy underwater to cover his body, and swam faster towards Zhou Qi.
He could see countless mutated sea creatures swimming around him.
They tried to attack him, but he dodged them nimbly, and were left behind because they could not catch up with his speed.
Finally, he saw Zhou Qi's figure in the undercurrent of the sea.
After falling into the sea, the sapphire necklace that Tang Yu'an had given him as a birthday gift came into play, forming a protective shield around him and providing him with oxygen.
I don’t know if it’s because of the spirit insect, but he was not attacked by the creatures on the seabed.
Tang Yu'an swam towards him happily and hugged him.
The protective shield could not prevent him from approaching, nor was it damaged, and it was still providing oxygen to Zhou Qi.
Tang Yu'an was just about to lift Zhou Qi's mask and feed him underwater breathing potion, but he suddenly started.
He looked in the direction his spiritual sense had detected and saw a dark shadow like a hill approaching them.
When he discovered it, it was too late to dodge. He could only hug Zhou Qi tightly, and then was swept away to an unknown direction by the surging current...
When Tang Yu'an regained consciousness, he found that he was no longer in the sea.
He was lying on a rocky beach, with green vines wrapped around his waist. The other end of the vines extended to the beach and was tied to a huge rock.
Was it the Emerald that brought him ashore?
Tang Yu'an propped himself up and sat up. A thin vine stretched out in front of him and gently rubbed his cheek with the vine leaves, conveying a sense of worry.
"Emerald, I'm fine."
Tang Yu'an said this and then looked around. This was an unfamiliar beach, but fortunately, the surrounding scenery was of normal size.
He was still in this plane, not wandering into another world again, but...
Where is Brother Xiaoqi?
Tang Yu'an opened the map and took a look, and found that the light spot belonging to Zhou Qi was nearby, and they were not dispersed by the sea.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Tang Yu'an let the emerald release him, and waited for it to shrink again and wrap around his hair before he began to search according to the instructions on the map.
He was not too panicked. During his days of training and studying in the Giant Forest, he had become accustomed to Zhou Qi going out alone while he did his own things in the house.
There is no need to be anxious about a short separation because they are no longer as weak as when they first came into this world.
Arriving in an unfamiliar place, with the surrounding map basically covered by fog, Tang Yu'an immediately took out the shadow umbrella.
When he rushed towards Zhou Qi before, he put the umbrella into his personal storage.
The setting sun hung above the sea level, the sea water swayed in the golden and red light, and several mutant seagulls flew in the sky.
Tang Yu'an flew onto a reef, looked at the rippling sea, and frowned slightly.
After searching, he found that Zhou Qi was not on the shore, but in the water, and was moving back and forth at a constant speed. It did not look like he had lost consciousness and was washed away by the current.
Tang Yu'an looked at the sea with some confusion. He did not rush into the sea because from the map, the ocean was densely packed with red dots.
If he continues like this, not only will he not be able to rescue Zhou Qi, he might even lose himself.
Using cat toys and dog Frisbees in the ocean? That's not practical either.
So what's going on with Xiaoqi? I called him on the message board, but he didn't reply.
Thinking of what happened when he swallowed the spirit insect before, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but worry. Brother Xiaoqi... wouldn't he become a sea monster like the lord of Linhai Town?
In an ocean full of water, it is definitely an environment that is beneficial to water spirit insects.
Without his healing skills and without the opposing psychic powers, can Brother Xiaoqi handle it?
Tang Yu'an sighed and squatted on the reef, worrying.
At this moment, he saw a new message pop up on the message board.
【Message Board (Public Channel)】
[Cloud Eagle]: Lord Yin Guang, Lord Wu Yue...are you all okay?
Yes, Hai Jing was still waiting for them in the RV.
Tang Yu'an glanced at the map and realized that their distance was definitely more than 10 kilometers, so even though he could see Haijing talking on the nearby channel, he had no way to reply to him.
Maybe Haijing was too anxious, so he called them on the public channel?
Fortunately, Black Pearl and Yuanbao are guarding near the RV, and with the protection of the evil guest repelling aura, the sea whale should be fine.
Tang Yu'an was thinking about whether to reply using Yin Guang's alias, but the public channel was already in an uproar.
【Message Board (Public Channel)】
[Little Noise]: Lord Yin Guang? Lord Wu Yue? Have you met the two divine messengers?
[Panshi]: Is this true?
[Cloud Eagle]: Yes, I saw them, they just saved me.
[Cloud Eagle]: Lord Yin Guang not only healed my wounds, but also gave me a new set of clothes!
[Cloud Eagle]: But they left to fight a powerful esper. I waited a long time for them to come back, but they didn't. I'm a little worried...
Green as Blue: What level is the user? What was the battle like? Tell us more!
Xiang Tianshi: How could they rescue you? How did you contact them?
[Chilong]: How powerful is Silver Black Moon?
[Cloud Eagle]: I, I don’t know…
[Cloud Eagle]: I was kidnapped and asked for help on a nearby channel. Lord Silver Light not only responded to me, but also rushed over to save me!
[Cloud Eagle]: Lord Silver Light is very strong! Very, very strong! Even five people with special abilities are no match for him!
[Cloud Eagle]: Those five people with special abilities are very powerful. No one who comes to the fortress dares to mess with them.
[Panshi]: So awesome!
[Pu Wei]: Lord Yin Guang is so great!
【东土大糖】: Awesome!
[Laundry Detergent]: I also want to meet the two gods!
[Fish in the Water]: I want to meet Master Wu Yue! Master Wu Yue is truly the most knowledgeable and talented person in the world! Can I meet Master Wu Yue by asking for help in the nearby channel?
[Ranger]: That shouldn’t be possible. Cloud Eagle is really in danger.
[Hongshenghuo]: Yunying, are you out of trouble now?
Green as Blue: Yes, yes, yes. How are you and your daughter doing? Are you okay?
[Cloud Eagle]: Everything's fine for now. The fighting has subsided. I just don't know why the two divine messengers haven't returned yet...
There was a lively discussion on the message board.
Tang Yu'an peeked at the screen for a while, but finally decided not to show up. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make. It would be better to keep the Yin Guang pseudonym mysterious.
Of course, it is not a solution to let Haijing wait like this all the time, after all, the RV and pets are still with him.
He thought about it carefully, organized his wording, and then gave Haijing a task.
-
On the edge of Linhai Town Center, in the RV of Ping'an Grocery Store.
Haijing stayed in the RV, answering questions from other employees on the message board while looking at the sky outside, hoping to see the two figures appear.
He didn't dare leave the RV, partly because of Lord Yin Guang's order, and partly because...
Four giant mutant creatures were surrounding the RV, all showing a certain degree of anxiety because their owner had not returned yet.
Before leaving, Lord Yin Guang ordered them to stay here, so they did not leave.
But it can be seen that they are in a very bad mood, especially the mutant leopard with pure black fur.
Just now, a person with special abilities who had fainted woke up and was slapped away by it. He is still hanging on the tree.
Fortunately, these mutant beasts have no tendency to eat humans.
Haijing could see clearly in the RV that these four mutant beasts were obviously raised by Lord Yin Guang and only listened to him.
Even though four psychics were defeated by giant beasts, how could the ability to tame beasts be considered as the strength of Lord Yin Guang?
Of course, Lord Wu Yue is also very strong, and he is dealing with the most powerful manager of Linhai Town.
Unfortunately, the battle didn't last long, as they ran away. Hai Jing couldn't see the battle, but only heard the terrifying noise coming from the seashore...
Now a lot of people have gathered around them.
The Li Peng before had also shouted to Haijing, saying that the manager of Linhai Town, Li Zhentian, and two cloaked men had fallen into the sea and were probably in great danger.
The other five people with special abilities were controlled by the Shangshen Sect. Now Linhai Town was leaderless, so they asked Haijing what he wanted to do.
What can the whales do?
He is just a small believer in the Shangshen Sect and has no say. What he can do now... is to take out goods for trading?
Then, he received a new mission from the messenger of God.
[Congratulations! Triggering the elite mission "Dividing the Linhai Town Forces"]
Description: Linhai Town boasts a large population and abundant marine resources, but due to the control of local evil forces, the people of Linhai Town have long lived in dire straits.
Now that the evil leader and his capable subordinates have been eliminated, you need to save innocent people, free them from the rule of evil forces, and obtain food and other survival supplies through labor, so that business in Linhai Town can prosper.
Mission: Control the RV to the seaside, trade with ordinary people along the coast, and separate them from the local evil forces.
[Mission Reward: Linhai Town Branch Manager Qualification, Three-wheeled Truck*1]
[Warm Tip: The area within 300 meters of the RV will be protected by the God of Commerce. Anyone who harbors ill will towards the God of Commerce will not be able to enter.]
When Haijing saw the mission, he was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
Does this mean that the mysterious businessman is safe?
Because there were a lot of words, he was still thinking about the content of the task when a new task was sent.
[Congratulations! Triggering the normal quest "Calm and Care for the Divine Beasts"]
[Description: Yin Guang and Wu Yue are temporarily unable to return, and the divine beasts they left behind need comfort and care.]
Mission: Tell the mythical beasts that Silver Light Black Moon will not be able to return for the time being, provide them with food, and wait with them for the mysterious merchant to return.
[Reward: 5000 points]
Looking at the new task, Haijing was stunned, then looked at the giant beasts outside the carriage.
He swallowed and mustered up the courage to get off the car. He was not doing it for the 5,000 points. Even if there was no reward, he would try his best to complete the task assigned to him by the Messenger of God.
After Haijing got off the car, he saw that there were fewer people around the RV, but he didn't care.
Seeing the "divine beasts" looking towards him, he clenched his hands nervously and then said carefully: "The Lord God said they are safe now, so you don't have to worry. And... let me take care of you..."
The rest of the words disappeared in the sea breeze.
Before Haijing finished speaking, he saw the black panther rushing out, followed by the four-eyed wolf and the golden giant dog.
The giant white dog, which was at the end, was stunned for a moment, then it started barking and ran after its companions.
They were moving so fast that the whales had no time to stop them.
He scratched his head, turned around and got into the RV, then saw a furry little head poking out of a box on the dashboard.
The little red bird tilted its head to look at the whale, then chirped and flew away.
Hai Jing was stunned. Seeing that it was about to fly out, he quickly closed the car door.
"Are you also Lord Silverlight's divine beast?"
“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”
"Lord Yin Guang asked me to take care of you. Will you stay? Otherwise I will be punished."
The little red bird looked at the whale hesitantly, and the whale put on an innocent and pitiful look, and finally won the recognition of the little red bird.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”
Hai Jing naturally didn't understand what it was saying. He took out a bag of squid shreds from his personal space. Because it was delicious and Xiao Hai Lan liked it very much, he bought a lot.
"Do you want to eat?"
The little red bird hesitantly put the squid strips into its mouth, then its eyes lit up and its cry became excited.
Haijing couldn't help but smile and fed it a few more pieces. After making sure it was full, he began to think about how to drive the RV to the beach.
"How do I open this?"
"Autopilot mode is on, verifying permissions, verification passed... Please speak or select your destination on the map."
Hai Jing was startled and stammered, "I, I want to go to the beach."
Please select an exact location.
The coastline has appeared on the console's map, but only one area is bright, and the rest is shrouded in fog.
Haijing tentatively clicked on that area.
Soon, the RV started driving automatically and took him to the beach.
Hai Jing finally relaxed a little. Many employees on the message board were asking him for details. He didn't say much, but only told them that the messenger of God had given him a task.
As for other details, he chose to keep it confidential.
Soon, the RV brought him to the beach. Looking at the endless sea, Haijing tentatively got out of the car.
Many people from Linhai Town followed him to the beach and just watched him from afar.
But judging from the distance, it should not exceed 300 meters.
So these people have no ill will towards the Shangshen Cult, right? Hai Jing remembered the instructions in the mission and also thought clearly about the content of the first mission.
To divide the forces in Linhai Town, we need to win over some people.
Let these people serve the God of Commerce and let them spread the glory of the God of Commerce throughout the entire Linhai Town!
Hai Jing observed those who had no ill will towards the God of Business, and then unexpectedly discovered that Li Peng was among them.
Haijing didn't have much resentment towards this little leader who had brought people into his house.
If he hadn't taken action, Hai Lan might have been killed, and he probably wouldn't have survived either.
Of course, Haijing didn't like him very much either.
But he remembered the task given to him by the Lord God's Messenger... If he wanted to divide the forces in Linhai Town, then winning over a prestigious and powerful person like Li Peng should be a breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Haijing waved to Li Peng.
He didn't dare to leave the RV too far, and when Li Peng approached, he also held the gun tightly in his hand.
Of course, out of trust in the Lord God's Messenger, Hai Jing did not react more extreme to Li Peng.
"Next, we, the Merchant God Church, will stay here. We have goods beyond your imagination. You can exchange them for salt."
Hai Jing said to Li Peng, "However, those who wish to change must come before me in person and obey my orders."
Li Peng was pointed at by Haijing with a gun, and he raised his hands to show that he was harmless.
Hearing Hai Jing's words, he frowned slightly and said, "So, the Shangshen Sect only plans to do business in Linhai Town, right?"
"That was indeed the case before the two gods' messengers came back." Hai Jing nodded.
"You won't get involved in the upcoming power struggle in Linhai Town?"
"Not yet."
Li Peng frowned tightly. He thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Faced with the Shangshen Sect, which possessed such terrifying power, he really had no room for bargaining.
"but……"
At this moment, he heard Haijing's voice again, "I have a private transaction, I wonder if you are interested?"
Li Peng raised his eyebrows, "Is it for the people who visited the fishing village?"
Haijing pursed his lips, and he knew that Guanyu Village was not safe yet.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't do anything like massacring an entire village," Li Peng said. "When Li Zhentian died, many people would applaud and cheer."
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean your subordinates can do it." Hai Jing's face became gloomy when he thought of Da Biao.
Li Peng paused.
He thought for a moment and then said, "If you are so worried, why don't you just go back?"
"I have my mission."
"Okay, I understand. I'll send people to protect Guanyu Village," Li Peng said. "So what benefits can I get?"
Hai Jing raised his hand, and then hundreds of kilograms of wheat appeared out of thin air at his feet.
"If you can do that, all this wheat will be yours, and you'll have the right to trade with me first in the future."
Li Peng was shocked at first, then his eyes lit up.
"The Shangshen Sect is indeed worthy of its reputation!"
Then the next moment, business hours came and Li Peng disappeared from the spot.
At this time, Haijing received a new task.
[Congratulations! Triggering the normal mission "Father and Daughter Reunion"]
[Description: Your daughter is still waiting for your return in Guanyu Village. Her safety cannot be guaranteed. You can complete other tasks after you are reunited.]
[Mission Content: Say "Guan Yucun" to the RV, go there and reunite with Hailan...]
Seeing this task, Haijing's tears suddenly burst out.
He knelt on the ground, bowed three times towards the sea, and then hurried into the car.
-
Hundreds of kilometers away at the beach, Tang Yu'an was looking at the map.
Seeing Black Pearl and the others running towards him, he was not too worried. After all, this plane was not as dangerous as the Giant Forest.
When he found out that Haijing actually stayed in the center of Linhai Town, he quickly issued another task, asking him to go back and pick up his daughter.
He couldn't go back for the time being, but with the halo that could keep away bad guests, he was not afraid of the RV being damaged.
Without the permission he gave, Haijing couldn't enter the Ping'an Grocery Store, so it was okay for him to live in the RV.
Wait until he opens a branch in Linhai Town, and then take the RV back.
After dealing with the whale issue, Tang Yu'an looked at the sea again and sighed with some melancholy.
Zhou Qi was still wandering on the seabed in front of him, not knowing what was going on...
Tang Yu'an jumped onto a lower reef. The sea water below was about several meters deep. He reached out and stirred the water.
If Xiaoqige turned into a fish, would he swim over because he smelled his scent?
Tang Yu'an stared at the fish swimming in the water, and felt that every one of them looked like Zhou Qi...
He was originally staring at the map, but gradually he became dazed.
He did not notice that the school of fish in the water suddenly dispersed, and the water surface became much calmer.
Until one moment, he felt his hand soaked in water being held.
Tang Yu'an blinked, and instead of being afraid, he grabbed the hand back and pulled the other person out of the water.
A figure wearing a black and gold mask broke out of the water, revealing his upper body.
His black cloak was gone, and the wet clothes clung to his body, outlining the young man's thin yet powerful muscles.
"Brother Xiaoqi, you scared me to death!"
Tang Yu'an looked at him and couldn't help but complain, "You're obviously fine, why didn't you reply to my message?"
Zhou Qi did not answer him, but just soaked quietly in the sea water.
Tang Yu'an suddenly realized something was wrong.
Zhou Qi's hair color changed from black to dark blue, and... his ears? Why did his ears become pointed?
Tang Yu'an took off Zhou Qi's mask, revealing the young man's handsome and somewhat weird face.
His eyes also turned into a dark blue, and the shape of his pupils changed. Zhou Qi, who reappeared in front of him, seemed to have turned into a mermaid.
“Snap!”
A blue fish tail suddenly hit the sea surface, causing splashes of water.
Tang Yu'an stared at him blankly, then fell down unsteadily.
Brother Xiaoqi...turned into a mermaid?
